The Déjà Vu cocktail menu by La Petite Maison is styled like a vintage magazine and offers serves inspired by the French Riviera between the 50s and 90s. One notable cultural moment that inspired a specific drink on the menu was the creation of the Hermès Birkin bag, and its corresponding drink, described as a a twist on the Americano, is presented with a custom French silk scarf. The Soleil, inspired by Fragonard’s Soleil fragrance, is served in a bespoke soda bottle paired with a perfume sample.
Knowing that a growing health-conscious movement is inspiring drinkers to explore alcohol alternatives, La Petite Maison applied the same precision and storytelling to the no-alcohol and low-alcohol cocktails on its Déjà Vu menu,.
