Never Had It: But want it just the same!

Once again, to drive peeps crazy, my pesky day job of “dedicating myself full time to wine” has produced a great invite. This one is in San Francisco, and though not wine, I still hated turning down a trip to a launch party for Remy Martin V with their mixologist, Charles Hardwick. I leave you with the same teaser, and some recipes to try on your own.

Hi Eve!

Things are clearly getting interesting: Rémy Martin has chosen the San Francisco market, among two select cities, to launch Rémy Martin V, the brand’s first CLEAR spirit and latest innovation; which seeks to appeal to the young, hip, urban, trendsetting party-goer. To that end, I’d love to invite you to an exciting showcase of V courtesy of the USBG San Francisco chapter and hosted by Rémy Martin’s Mixologist, Charles Hardwick on September 8th.

I’ve attached more information on V, and look forward to hearing from you.

Pour Rémy Martin V over ice in a highball glass,

Rémy Martin V, the innovative clear spirit from the House of Rémy Martin,

blends the savoir faire, rich ﬂavor and aroma of cognac with the smoothness

and mixability of clear spirits such as vodka,

tequila and gin that have become popular with contemporary drinkers.

It is the perfect component for blending in cocktails suchas the signature “V Cran” or “The Victor”.

Tasting Notes: Clear and bright with intensity and depth. The taste is fresh and clean, with a new level of smoothness. Sophisticated fruitiness and nuanced flavors are perfectly balanced. The finish is subtle, warm and easy-to-drink. The nose has sophisticated aromas of subtle fruit notes with hints of pear and nuances of fresh mint. It is strikingly fresh with an immediate impression of smoothness and appeal.
