cocktail de bienvenue

[Zarg]

Folks,

I know this can't be "welcome cocktail" (as in, a drink for arriving guests at a function for which they have paid). But is it "reception cocktail (as opposed to cocktail reception)?

 

[petit1]

I don't understand very well what you mean with "cocktail de bienvenue". Is it what we sometimes call "le pot de l'amitié"?

 

[Zarg]

Meaning you show up at a hotel for a conference, and you are "welcomed" with a "cocktail"

 

[petit1]

Just "reception" perhaps.

 

[littleredrooster]

Yes "reception" seem quite adapted for this translation

Hello,

What would you call in proper english welcome cocktail?
So, when you first arrive at the hotel, they offer you a cocktail.

Thank you.

A "welcome cocktail" / "welcome drink"; in Scotland [humor.] "a welcome wee dram" (of scotch of course).
