Soupe Angevine

Soupe Angevine is a French cocktail that combines sparkling wine, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and Cointreau. Often classified as a punch, the cocktail is usually made in a large punch bowl. All the ingredients, except sparkling wine, are added to the bowl and mixed.

Sparkling wine is added next, and the combination is mixed before adding ice. The cocktail is poured into glasses using a ladle. Traditionally, it is served in a flute, and it is usually garnished with citrus slices or citrus zest. This cocktail is mostly made with Crémant de Loire, regional sparkling wine with a fresh and crisp character.

It is a party staple in the Loire valley and is best enjoyed as a refreshing summer cocktail. The soup reference in the name probably stems from the serving style resembling a large bowl of soup.
