Launched in 2012, D’USSÉ (pronounced dew-say), made its debut back in 2012. We remember attending the launch party at 40/40 Nightclub in NYC and here we are, a few year’s later and D’USSE is still going strong. This ultra-premium cognac blends over 200 years of tradition with the modern inspiration of Cellar Master Michel Cassavecchia. Infamous for being Jay-Z’s liquor of choice, the result is a uniquely powerful, authentic cognac that starts off with distinguished intensity and then gives way to a pleasantly smooth, balanced finish. With exceptionally blended expressions including D’USSE VSOP and D’USSE XO, D’USSE lends itself to a variety of elegantly crafted rich, and complex cognac-based cocktails – just in time for the first nip of autumn’s chill. Now we know you don’t want to even think about cold temperatures but instead think about a refreshing beverage that will bring the heat of the Summer to you throughout the Fall season. Here are 12 premium cocktails to do just that:
This week, top industry VIPs joined Bacardi as they unveiled their latest addition to the brand – a new ultra-premium Cognac brand called D’USSE [dew-say], a bold new expression of Cognac that will debut this summer. Famed mixologist Justin Noel created opulent signature cocktails providing guests the opportunity to preview the luxury French spirit before it hit the market. We thoroughly enjoyed the specialty cocktails while enjoying music by Roc Nation DJ Jus Ske.
While we can’t tell you how to make short winter days any longer or brighter, we can tell you how to stay warm, live in the moment and enjoy.
