HISTORY
At Ferrand, we put our distinctive touch on every step of the cognac-making process, starting in our own vineyards. Here, we experiment with older, lesser known varieties including the extraordinary Colombard grape. Colombard brings floral notes of lilac and iris, along with fruity notes of apple, pear, apricot, and prune to Ambré, a bright and fresh cognac.
USAGE
Having spent enough time in oak to provide a rich foundation while remaining fresh and fruity, the unique qualities of Ambré make it perfect for the Sidecar cocktail. The Cocktail Codex, by our friends at Death & Co, uses Ambré as their go-to for the ideal Sidecar:
-1.5 oz Ferrand Ambré
-1 oz Ferrand Dry Curaçao
-0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
-1 teaspoon simple syrup
-Garnish with an orange twist
Shake all the ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled coupe. Express the orange twist over the drink, then gently rub it around the rim of the glass and place it into the drink.
