Martell & Coffee
This one’s for the coffee lovers! With the Martell Noblige’s fruity notes of pear and prune and touches of vanilla pod and caramelised grape, simply pair the dark gold drink with your favorite coffee liqueur, mix them in a shaker, and serve. This cocktail is strong, bold, and luxurious with that deep, caffeinated kick, perfect for the people whose sleepiness overrides them, especially when the new year hasn’t arrived yet.
Chevalier Noir
This cocktail is a sophisticated, spicy, and smooth after-dinner drink that makes use of a French cognac with candied plum and apple paired with roasted hints of mocha coffee, toasted almonds and vetiver. Stir in the Martell Cordeon Bleu and cinnamon syrup in a glass with a large ice cube, garnish with a cinnamon stick and an orange peel, and voila! You have your post dinner Chevalier Noir.
Martell Vieux Carré
Aged for at least four years, the Martell VSOP is a smooth and fruity cognac that’s perfect for those new to the brandy variety. In a stirring tin with ice, quickly stir in VSOP, rye, vermouth, Benedictine, and dashes of peychaud and angostura bitters. Strain the cocktail into a glass with ice and you’ve got yourself a classic Martell Vieux Carré, perfect for those looking for a bold, complex, yet balanced drink for the new year’s.
It’s not too late to get your cognacs! Martell’s pop-up store will be open until February 2, 2025 offering various cognacs, including limited-edition bottles. If you plan on gifting these cognacs to your loved ones, they also offer personalized bottles and customized sleeves—a great gift for your New Year’s party guests.
