00:00Le boisson d'amour.

00:05It means the drink of love.

00:07So we're making an Americano in Paris.

00:08Ooh.

00:09Do you see what we did there?

00:10I do.

00:11We are going to take a little bit of pastis and we're just going to swirl it around.

00:15Just to give the glass the flavor of the pastis, we don't actually want to drink it, we just

00:20want to give this really interesting depth of flavor of an anise, and then we're going

00:24to dump it out.

00:25This is called In-N-Out.

00:26This drink is built in a glass, so it doesn't really matter what kind of ice you use.

00:31The Pebble Ice is really nice, but if you have regular ice at home, go for it.

00:34It's not required.

00:35And then we're going to add a little Campari.

00:36A little sweet for me with my sweet heart.

00:37And so a traditional Americano calls for club soda after the liqueurs, but this one we're

00:45making extra special and extra sexy.

00:47I know you do not have to use champagne.

00:48You can use...

00:49You do not have to.

00:50We're just staying within the French-Parisian theme.

00:53If you're looking to do heart-shaped garnishes, grab yourself a little heart-shaped cookie

00:56cutter.

00:57Oh, cheers, my darling.

00:58Cheers.

00:59Happy Valentine's Day, my love.
