Description

Velvet Embassy earns its place in the glass by keeping the idea clear. The recipe combines Pisco, Cognac Syrup, Sparkling Wine, and Cassis Essence. Bubbles keep the serve open and refreshing, so the richer or sweeter elements stay light on the palate.

It fits naturally into aperitif hour, garden drinks, parties or any round where you want flavour without a heavy finish. Use fresh ice and serve promptly so the texture and aroma arrive at their best.
