Escape winter gloom and indulge in exclusive Courvoisier Cognac cocktails at The Landmark London

Courvoisier cognac range

Courvoisier has partnered with The Mirror Bar, to unveil an exclusive Courvoisier cognac pop-up inside the five star Landmark London hotel. Designed as a luxurious winter hideaway, this limited-time experience marries the opulence of one of the world’s most revered cognac houses with the grandeur of a five star London hotel setting.

Nestled in the heart of Marylebone, and originally one of London’s grand railway hotels, The Landmark blends classic charm with contemporary luxury. From its eight-storey-high glass atrium to its impeccably designed suites, the hotel is a sanctuary for refined indulgence, and The Mirror Bar is one of its most stylish attractions.

Either bold red panelling, glass displays, and a mesmerising infinity mirror tunnel, the Mirror Bar is the perfect venue for a romantic Valentine rendezvous, intimate celebration, or sophisticated nightcap.

The pop-up presents a creatively crafted menu centred around Courvoisier’s VSOP Cognac. The aromatic expression serves as the foundation for three enticing cocktails:

L’Hiver en Rose is a delicate blend of Courvoisier VSOP, Amaro liqueur, hibiscus, cherry, and Rosé champagne, floral and effervescent.

French 125 is the French 75 with a seasonal twist, mixing Courvoisier VSOP, lemon, toasted pumpkin, and champagne.

Finally, Manila Kiss  is a rich and complex concoction featuring Courvoisier VSOP, banana-infused Appleton Estate rum, Cacao Blanc liqueur, and vanilla, topped with hazelnut caviar for an indulgent finish.

Complementing the drinks menu is a curated selection of small plates designed to enhance the tasting experience. Highlights include Cornish crab and crème fraîche canapés, Beef carpaccio with chimichurri and aged parmesan, Mushroom and truffle croquettes and a selection of British cheeses served with preserves and artisan crackers

The Courvoisier pop-up is open until April 6, 2025. Cocktails are priced from £20. Courvoisier VSOP is available from The Whisky Exchange, priced £45.
