To get you in the drinking spirit, Yvette and Vianney are sharing a cocktail, El Pato, from their book.

El Pato was created by Salvatore “Pichin” Policastro, one of Argentina’s most famous bartenders. He created this cocktail for the World Bartender Championship in 1954, and dedicated it to Argentina’s homegrown sport, pato, which is similar to polo. Policastro’s book Tragos Mágicos (1955) became a go-to guide for up-and-coming bartenders. A gin-based cocktail with sweet and dry vermouth, Campari, Cointreau, and Kirsch, El Pato is a robust drink. Yet, served over ice, it is subtle and dry with a characteristic bitterness from the Campari. If you enjoy a Negroni, you’ll love this complex and refined twist.
