Cognac Summit – created by the ‘Shaker Kings’ of the International Cognac Summit In recognition of Tales of the Cocktail festivities going on in New Orleans July 8 – 12, twenty-one bars and restaurants in New Orleans will highlight a special cognac based cocktail created with Pierre Ferrand Ambre. This cocktail uses fresh ginger, lime and cucumber to bring out the unique complexities and aroma of the Pierre Ferrand Ambre. If you are among those visiting New Orleans during Tales of the Cocktail, be sure to visit one of the locations serving up the ‘Summit’. This tasty treat is available for at home imbibers, too.
