A winter coat in the height of summer, or shorts in the depths of winter? What works perfectly in one season, could make an audacious choice in another.
As with sartorial elegance, so too with cognac winter cocktails. Finding the perfect cocktail for each season, one to warm oneself in the depths of winter or offer thirst-quenching refreshment at the height of summer, is sometimes best left to the experts.
When it comes to creating cocktails, Maison Martell’s Master Mixologist Remy Savage is the definition of a seasoned professional.
We ask this industry icon, voted Europe’s best mixologist, for his favourite cognac cocktail recipes to pair with each season.
Martell & Ginger Ale/Beer
Cognac fall cocktail
Fall – or autumn, depending on where one calls home – is a time of crisp air, golden leaves, and moments made for relaxation and connection. What better way to embrace the season than with a refreshing yet warming cocktail?
The Martell & Ginger Ale/Beer, crafted with Martell VS, is a vibrant mix of smooth cognac and the zesty kick of ginger ale or ginger beer. Served over ice and garnished with a slice of fresh lemon, it’s the perfect balance of bright and bold flavors.
Martell & Coffee
Cognac winter cocktails
Winter might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but what about coffee? Remy Savage recommends Martell& Coffee to get one through the coldest months. Made with Martell Noblige and coffee liqueur, this cocktail is simple to prepare at home yet surprisingly sophisticated on the palate.
Fine à l'eau
Cognac spring cocktail
Time to clean away those tried and tested cocktail recipes in favour of some new flavours and tastes? Spring is the season of rebirth and rejuvenation, all freshness and green with a verve in the air.
The same applies to the Fine à l’Eau. Made with Martell VS, verjus, and topped with sparkling water, this fine cocktail will tantalise the taste buds and put a spring in the step.
Martell Spritz
Cognac summer cocktail
The season of sunlit adventures, seaside escapes, and warm evenings calls for a drink that’s as lively as summer itself.
The Martell Spritz, made with Martell VS, prosecco, and a touch of simple syrup, is a sparkling delight. With 30 ml of Martell VS, 7.5 ml of simple syrup, and 120 ml of prosecco, this effervescent cocktail offers the perfect balance of richness and refreshing sweetness.
Celebrate summer with the Martell Spritz—a toast to sunny skies and carefree moments.
