Parfumerie Russe
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.52 / 5
The Parfumerie Russe is an intriguing and exotic cocktail that combines the sweet tropical notes of pineapple juice with the distinct flavor of melon liqueur. This cocktail is given a unique twist with the addition of black vodka, contributing to its depth and color, while the aromatic hint of absinthe imparts a complex, herbal undertone. The use of a spritz of absinthe in the glass before serving adds to the overall sensory experience, making the Parfumerie Russe not just a drink, but a perfumed journey for the palate. It is usually presented in a sophisticated cocktail glass, often garnished with a curl of melon peel to echo its melon notes, providing a visually appealing and aromatic sip.
