Recettes de cocktails avec Absinthe et Cognac

À propos des ingrédients

• Cognac: Le cognac est une eau-de-vie de vin, produite en France dans une région délimitée centrée autour de Cognac, englobant une grande partie de la Charente, la presque totalité de la Charente-Maritime, et quelques enclaves en Dordogne et dans les Deux-Sèvres. Elle doit respecter des normes et des règles de production bien précises afin de pouvoir obtenir l'appellation « cognac ». Les savoir-faire de l'élaboration du cognac sont inscrits à l'Inventaire du patrimoine culturel immatériel français depuis 2020.
• Absinthe: Absinthe is an anise-flavoured spirit derived from several plants, including the flowers and leaves of Artemisia absinthium ("grand wormwood"), together with green anise, sweet fennel, and other medicinal and culinary herbs. Historically described as a highly alcoholic spirit, it is 45–74% ABV or 90–148 proof US. Absinthe traditionally has a natural green color but may also be colorless. It is commonly referred to in historical literature as la fée verte ("the green fairy"). It is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a liqueur, but is not traditionally bottled with added sugar and is, therefore, classified as a spirit. Absinthe is traditionally bottled at a high level of alcohol by volume, but it is normally diluted with water before being consumed. Absinthe originated in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland in the late 18th century. It rose to great popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers. The consumption of absinthe was opposed by social conservatives and prohibitionists, partly due to its association with bohemian culture.
