Foodie Swellness: D’Ussé Cognac cocktails from the On the Run Tour

August 1, 2014

“That D’Ussé is the s*&%, if I do say so myself.”

I’d have to agree, Jay.

Recognize that line from Jay Z from Beyonce’s song “Drunk in Love”? Well, D’Ussé is Jay’s brand of cognac — and I lucked out by getting to try some of the D’Usse cocktails created for the On the Run Tour at the concert a couple of weeks ago.

And with the long weekend here (Monday’s a holiday here in Ontario, woot!), cheers to the freakin’ weekend! To help you get your weekend kicked off right, here are two of the cocktail recipes (Deuces is my favourite!).

The Code (pictured above)

• 1 1/2 parts D’Ussé Cognac
• 1 part Disaronno Original Liqueur
• 2 parts pineapple juice
• dash of angostura bitters

Shake and strain over ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Deuces

• 1 1/2 oz D’Ussé Cognac
• 2.5 oz Simply Lemonade
• 1/2 oz ginger ale
• splash of grenadine

Shake and strain over ice in a rocks glass.
