Summer rhymes with sun, beach and cocktails. And that’s a good thing, because mixologist Fanny Gauthier offers a summery atmosphere all year long at her cocktail bar La Plage, located in the District Gourmet of QG Sainte-Foy, in Quebec City. Here is a vitamin-packed cocktail of her creation, which will go perfectly with vanilla, strawberry or raspberry ice cream. Cheers and bon appétit!
