In the NOW: Veuve Clicquot Rich for champagne cocktails

VC_Rich5With Summer on its way, new refreshing drinks and cocktails are always welcoming. So is Veuve Clicquot Rich; a champagne ready to be mixed.

Regarding history -when wines were mixed to acquire a sweeter taste- Veuve Clicquot stays in the tradition with Rich but with an innovative take. The higher dosage of Veuve Clicquot Pinot Noir signature is balanced with the fresh, and gourmand flavours of the Meunier, a combination which elevates the fruitiness.VC_rich1

 

Veuve Clicquot Rich was especially developed for mixology, or actually ‘Clicquology’ as the ritual to a perfect serve are referred to. Together with mixologists a few ingredients were selected to pair with the champagne and give it an unique twist, such as cucumber, the zest of a grapefruit peel, pineapple, peppers or tea. To cater to different tastes, these ingredients are divided in three categories: fruity -pineapple or grapefruit, fresh -cucumber or peppers, elegant – tea. Served with a lot of ice!
