The Colonel
A zesty, playful introduction to Elusa Blanche; the way our founder first fell in love with it.
Think of it as a sophisticated dessert cocktail. Light, bright, and effortless. Yet entirely grown-up.
​​
-
50ml Elusa Blanche
-
1–2 scoops lemon or lime sorbet
-
Lemon slice, to garnish
​​
-
Add: sorbet to an ice cream bowl.
-
Pour: Elusa Blanche on top.
-
Garnish: with a slice of lemon.
​
The Colonel is for the moment you want indulgence without heaviness, citrus without cloying sweetness, and a chill that feels intentional.
​
No shaking. No stirring. Just pour, present, and enjoy. The chill softens the Armagnac while the citrus lifts it, effortless flavour, every time.
​
Try with Blanche Armagnac or Elusa Orange Liqueur for a zesty twist.
WHY IT WORKS
Sorbet meets Armagnac. It sounds simple, but this combination transforms the spirit:
​
-
Sorbet’s tang cuts through the warmth of Elusa Blanche.
-
Fruit and citrus lift the Armagnac’s nuanced palate.
-
Minimal ingredients, maximum elegance.
-
​
This isn’t just a drink, it’s a ritual. One you can make in seconds, but savour like a slow toast to the good life.
TASTING NOTES
Aroma: Bright lemon, subtle Armagnac warmth
Palate: Softly sweet, zesty, lightly boozy
Finish: Clean, refreshing, lingering citrus notes
