Merlet C² Citron & Cognac combines the know-how of the Merlet liqueur and distiller, and plays on a classic complementarity between cognac and citrus fruits, here lemon and lime. First, natural infusions are made by macerating yellow lemon zest and whole lime puree separately. Part of these lemon infusions are distilled, then undistilled lemon infusions, lemon distillates and cognac are blended. Cognac represents a minimum of 70% of the blend. Finally, sugar is added to obtain the final liqueur.
The sugar/alcohol ratio is not too important, Merlet C² Lemon is perfect on the rocks as a digestif and remains an excellent aperitif when mixed with carbonated water or tonic. It is also a substitute for classic cocktails that use orange or citrus liqueurs, such as the Merléritif lemon soda.
