In the ever-evolving landscape of popular culture, few female artists have left an indelible mark quite like Taylor Swift. Beyond her chart-topping hits and record-breaking albums, Swift’s impact extends far beyond the realm of music. Nevertheless, it appears like Swift has simply hinted at a brand-new, more surprising trend. There are cocktails involved this time.
Swift’s Favourite Cocktail?

Well, now, we have Swift’s favourite cocktail. Will this be Swifties’ go-to cocktail as well? The French Blonde was recently mentioned by Rye restaurant in Kansas City as the singer’s favourite dish to have when she stops by. This seemingly little information has caused quite a stir on social media, with many people trying to replicate the drink—which is made of gin, grapefruit juice, Lillet Blanc, and elderflower liqueur—on social media. Is this going to be 2024’s big drink trend? Either way, it sounds way more delicious than the beverage she had previously mentioned as her go-to: a vodka-infused Diet Coke.
The cocktail has been around for a while; it is not a one-off. Like a lot of things made by mixologists, its origins are unclear. Despite sharing a name, it doesn’t appear to be closely linked to the Parisian Blonde, a cocktail that can be found in renowned bartender Harry Craddock’s 1930 publication, “The Savoy Cocktail Book.”
