In 1967, Jackie Kennedy visited Cambodia, fulfilling a lifelong dream of seeing Angkor Wat. During her stay in Phnom Penh, while listening to Prince Sihanouk’s own jazz composition, she was served a champagne cocktail as red as her lips. As the story goes, years later, the glass was found with her lipstick intact.
Today, to commemorate her visit, the elegant "Femme Fatale" cocktail is reborn at the Raffles Hotel Le Royal.
Instructions: Pour the Crème de Fraise and cognac into a 5-ounce cocktail glass. Finish with champagne. Enjoy immediately.
