#193 Cocktail: Mauresque

     One of the most simple cocktails to make and in the same time very tasty, even for the people who do not enjoy the absinth that much.
      Mauresque is French for "moorish". Pronounced 'Mor-Esk', this classic drink is very popular in the South of France. This cocktail is a classic French apéritif very common all over France. Pastis is probably one of the most popular beverage in the country. It was originally created by French soldiers serving in the Bataillon d’Afrique during the Algerian campaign of 1830s – 40s. The Mauresque is often drunk by women instead of pure Pastis.And orgeat is a syrup made from almonds. In the past, it was made from orge (bailey), hence its name. ( www.socialandcocktail.co.uk )
