Deciding what drinks to serve at my French-themed Movie Night [1] was surprisingly trés facile! Besides sparkling and still water, I'll pour one signature cocktail and offer guests a tasting of French wines.

A French martini, made with pineapple juice and chambord, will be served with the baked brie appetizer [2].

A rich, buttery Chardonnay pairs nicely with the shrimp bisque [3]. With the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts [4] pour a lighter, fruity red like a Pinot Noir. After the movie, finish the night with a glass of champagne and the chocolate soufflé [5].
