Another champagne cocktail has come my way, this one with Combier Rouge. The Rouge Noir cocktail, created by New York’s Junior Merino, is the perfect celebratory Valentine’s Day drink, but it’s also one of those elegant drinks that can help you unwind after a long day – the Rouge Noir, a bubble bath, and relaxing music sounds great right about now…

About Combier Rouge
Made with Combier Rouge, it is light and fruity with hints of pepper and licorice, is comprised of a blend of guignes and Morello cherries for their aroma and spiciness and black cherries for their deep color. The result is a gentle and sweet cherry-flavored liqueur with a rich ruby appearance. Made entirely with 100% natural ingredients, Rouge?contains no added sugar and is sweetened entirely from the fruits themselves.
The original composition for Rouge was first conceived in 1632 by the Reverend Mother Gautron of the Benedictine Abbey of Samur, and became so popular that it delighted the court of King Louis XIV. True to tradition, it is still produced much like it was nearly 400 years ago. Through this technique, Rouge continues to be considered one of the finest cherry liqueurs available on the market.
Debuting in November 2009, Combier Rouge will be served exclusively in top bars, restaurants and retailers in New York, California, and Atlanta before being offered nationwide. Rouge, 17% alcohol, is available in 750 ml bottles and retails for $25. For more information or recipes, please visit?www.combierusa.com.
