Spring is finally here! Before La Niña soaks us all for a third year in a row, Monnet Cognac has shared 3 Spring recipes to make the most of the sunshine and warm weather, while it lasts.
Monnet, which launched in Australia in July, is one of the most historical signatures of the Cognac region, and since its founding in 1838, has become known around the world for its ‘art de vivre’ (bringing people together through the art of living).
It is commonly referred to as the ‘sunny side of cognac’ as it sets itself apart by the liquids radiant glow and brightness. As well as being an iconic signature of Cognac, Monnet Cognac has become famous through Leonetti Capiello’s renowned poster, ‘Sunshine in a glass’, which was illustrated for Monnet in the 1920s.
