Toast Jay Z on National Cognac Day
Did you know that National Cognac Day is this Sunday, June 4? Well, now you do! And to celebrate the occasion the folks at D’USSÉ™ Cognac have come up with two fresh cocktails to tempt you from your regular weekend libation go-tos. We bet Jay Z will be raising a glass with one of the drinks detailed below since, well, he owns the brand, which has has a large celebrity fan club that includes DJ Khaled, Rihanna, Fabolous, and Romeo Santos among other A-listers.
Originating at the Chateau de Cognac, France, D’USSÉ cognac, curated by cellar master Michel Casavecchia, has a range that includes VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) and XO (Extra Old). Because of its proximity to the Charente river in southwest France , the chateau, one of France’s oldest cognac houses, is able to leverage two microclimates within its walls: a humid cellar that helps develop the cognac’s fruity, floral notes, and a dry cellar that brings out the liquor’s woody, and spicy tones. The chateau blends the two eaux-de-vie for the finished cognac.
Cognac, of course, is produced solely in the Cognac area of France. To be considered a bona-fide Cognac, its production can only come from the white grapes grown in specific approved growing regions in the area. Cognac also needs to be aged for at least 2 years in French Oak Casks and be a minimum of 80 proof by volume.
D’USSE SIDECAR
1½ parts D’USSÉ VSOP Cognac
1 part triple sec
¾ part freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ part sugar
D’USSE LEMONADE
1.5 parts D’USSÉ VSOP Cognac
3 parts Simply Lemonade
In New York you can try the D’USSE Sidecar at American Whiskey, Saxon + Parole, and The Vnyl. The D’USSE Lemonade is served at Milk River, Bowlmor Times Square, and Bowlmor Chelsea Piers.
