Parfumerie RusseCocktail recipe
Rating
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.
