Martell Fine à l’Eau: The Effortless Summer Sipper
For a light, sparkling refresher that’s as stylish as it is simple, the Martell Fine à l’Eau is the drink to master. Combining 35ml of Martell VS with 25ml of Verjus and 15ml of sugar syrup, topped with 100ml of soda water, it’s crisp, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. Ideal for those long, lazy afternoons or early evening gatherings, this cocktail is the epitome of modern sophistication—effortless yet undeniably impressive.
Martell Negroni: Bold, Complex, Timeless
For those who prefer something with a little more bite, the Martell Negroni offers a daring rework of the classic Italian favourite. Made with 30ml of Martell Blue Swift, 30ml of sweet vermouth, and 30ml of Suze or Campari, it’s a cocktail that commands attention. The result is a deep, aromatic blend, smooth yet structured, making it the perfect companion for an evening where style meets substance. This isn’t just a drink; it’s a statement.
Martell Margarita: Elevate the Fiesta
The Martell Margarita brings a luxurious twist to everyone’s favourite party starter. With 50ml of Martell Blue Swift, 20ml of orange liqueur, 75ml of sugar syrup, and 20ml of lime juice, this cocktail is a bright, refreshing burst of citrus, beautifully balanced with the richness of the cognac. It’s an unexpected upgrade that’s perfect for summer entertaining, adding a layer of sophistication to a typically casual classic.
Martell Mojito: Refreshingly Refined
Even the timeless Mojito receives a stylish reinvention. The Martell Mojito, featuring 45ml of Martell VS, 20ml of lime juice, 15ml of simple sugar syrup, and 90ml of soda water, delivers a sparkling, invigorating mix with a subtle depth. The cognac brings a warm, smooth note that elevates the mint-and-lime freshness, transforming a laid-back Cuban favourite into a cocktail worthy of the modern gentleman’s summer repertoire.
