Courvoisier, one of the world's leading Cognac brands, recently added Courvoisier Rose to it's collection. The spirit, identical in color to rosé wine, is a blend of cognac and premium French wine grapes. The flavor profile features notes of blackberry, black currant and a touch of cherry, complemented by vanilla, honey and vine-peach flavors. YUM!
Because the original Courvoisier is 40% alcohol and Rose is only 18%, it is recommended that consumers drink the spirit alone, rather than blending with juices and mixers.
However, there are always exceptions to the rule! Being the bartender that I am, I personalized my Courvoisier Rose, which has a slight fruity taste and is complimented well with apple juice. I call this:
The Courvoisy Rose Fizzle:

1/2 oz Ginger Ale
Apple slice

Rocks glass
Recipe:

I made this drink and it is SOOOOOO good!
