And yes ! We can perfectly replace rum of the super famous recipe with pineau and see what it looks like! This is how we do it:
In a tall glass crush 8 fresh mint leaves with a pestle
Add 6 pieces of lime cut into small pieces
Add 4 teaspoons of brown sugar (or 12 teaspoons of cane sugar)
Fill the glass with ice cubes
Add 6 cl of white Pineau des Charentes
Mix with a large spoon
Complete with sparkling water
Decorate with a mint leaf

This cocktail is an original creation of the Gravity Bar in Paris. It dares to mix two alcohols: pineau and white wine. The aromas are enhanced by thyme, honey and lemon. Here is the recipe:

Mix well to dissolve the honey
Fill the glass with ice cubes
Add 6 cl of white Pineau des Charentes and 3 cl of white Charentais country wine
Mix with a large spoon
Complete with sparkling water

Top up with fruit juice

3 cl of sparkling water
Topping: orange slice and thyme sprig
PINEAU SOUR
6 cl of white Pineau des Charentes
½ yellow lemon
1 dash of sugar syrup
