GRAND AVENUE FROLIC

In the town I grew up in, there is an old hotel called the Chequit, that used to be the site of a great bar where lots and lots of merrymaking occurred on a nightly basis all summer long. It was the 80s. There was lots of neon, asymmetrical hair, Depeche Mode, dancing and drinking of bright, tropical, summery things, like the Madras – a particularly popular tipple among my friends and me. I abandoned it as years went on for less fruity, more ‘serious’ cocktails. But the thing is, who wants to be so serious when sipping cocktails? Especially bubbly ones. This souped-up Madras is even more delicious with a splash of extra-dry Prosecco. Viva la 80s.
