About this Event

Cognac Day is celebrated on June 4th to honour the rich history of this luxurious French brandy whose origins date back to the 16th century when Dutch traders distilled local wines into "brandwijn" to preserve them for long sea voyages. The double distillation process, refined in the 17th century, and ageing in oak casks gave cognac its distinctive flavour and elegance. Today, cognac is renowned worldwide for its sophistication and craftsmanship.

Looking to celebrate the day? Why not master the traditional, iconic cognac cocktail The Sidecar. Try our Martell Sidecar reSIPe:
50ml Martell VSOP
20ml Orange Liqueur
7.5ml Simple Syrup
20ml Lemon Juice
Add ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake for 20-30 seconds. Double strain the shaken cocktail into a glass and add a garnish to serve.
