At work we have two things sat on our shelf that I didn’t really know much about, so I decided to do a bit of research!!
Alizé Rose
Alizé was first created when one prized exotic jams and juices family joined forces with a prized cognac family to create a new spirits category called, Exotic Cordials. The brand became very successful when the internationally-famous rapper Tupac Shakur, came out with his video hit called "Thug Passion", and rapped about Alizé and Cristal. Four weeks after this hit came out, Shakur was assassinated, and the two brands just took off. Alizé is still a favourite among the stars.
There are many different flavours, one of them being Alizé Rose.
As described on the Alizé website..."Alizé Rose features an authentic blend of the finest French cognac and vodka combined with luscious passion fruit, strawberry juice, lychee juice and rose essence." It was designed to heighten the cocktail experience, and has a sweet yet tart flavour with an ABV of 20%.
So how does work in a cocktail...
