The Hirshon French Resistance
The Hirshon French Resistance

In honor of the brave Parisians who have basically given a giant middle finger salute to the terrorists who sought to break their spirit, I have created a spirit-based drink in their name!

The original French Resistance were an amazing group of partisans, Citizens!

The French Resistance (French: La Résistance) was the collection of French movements that fought against the Nazi German occupation of France and the collaborationist Vichy régime during the Second World War.

Resistance cells were small groups of armed men and women (called the Maquis in rural areas), who, in addition to their guerrilla warfare activities, were also publishers of underground newspapers, providers of first-hand intelligence information, and maintainers of escape networks that helped Allied soldiers and airmen trapped behind enemy lines.

The men and women of the Resistance came from all economic levels and political leanings of French society, including émigrés, academics, students, aristocrats, conservative Roman Catholics (including priests and nuns), and also citizens from the ranks of liberals, anarchists and communists.

The French Resistance played a significant role in facilitating the Allies’ rapid advance through France following the invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944, and the lesser-known invasion of Provence on 15 August, by providing military intelligence on the German defenses known as the Atlantic Wall and on Wehrmacht deployments and orders of battle. The Resistance also planned, coordinated, and executed acts of sabotage on the electrical power grid, transport facilities, and telecommunications networks.

It was also politically and morally important to France, both during the German occupation and for decades afterward, because it provided the country with an inspiring example of the patriotic fulfillment of a national imperative, countering an existential threat to French nationhood. The actions of the Resistance stood in marked contrast to the collaboration of the French regime based at Vichy.

Combining pink champagne, cognac and Framboise (a raspberry liqueur), it also includes a single drop of Absinthe to add flavor complexity and as a reminder that madness will always be overwhelmed by spirit. It is also stained red in memory of the innocent blood running through the streets of Paris.
