“Taste the beauty of time with Claridges’ exclusive Rémy Martin XO and Louis XIII cocktail”

Claridge's Fleur de lis cocktail

The Claridges bar in Mayfair has launched a new, exclusive cocktail: the “Fleur de Lis.” Using Rémy Martin XO Excellence from the most prestigious cru in Cognac, the Fleur de Lis is served in a chilled Martini glass and is made by mixing dissolved sugar with the cognac, then adding a twist of citrus rind. This exquisite cocktail is lavished with a spray of century old Louis XIII cognac for more aromatic intensity, giving the cocktail a unique expression.

Blended from more than 1,200 eaux-de-vie and aged for up to 100 years, Louis XIII is usually available for £250 per glass at selected bars including Claridges. Using a specifically developed atomizer, the Louis XIII is delicately spread over the cocktail before being served. This gives the cocktail that superior touch and alluring aroma that insinuates the finer pleasures of life whilst giving guests the immense gratification of tasting a superbly mixed cocktail. The Fleur de Lis is available for £30.00 and will be served at the Claridges Bar until the end of the year.
