Intrigue Cordials
French vodka and Cognac, fruit forward, made for cocktails.
The story behind Intrigue
Intrigue is French, and not vaguely so. It is produced for Intrigue Spirits, LLC in partnership with the historic Cognac house Louis Royer, and it arrived on the US market in the mid-2000s. The base is the interesting part: a blend of premium French vodka and fine Cognac, then infused with passion fruit, citrus and natural fruit essences. That dual base is why it drinks warmer and rounder than a plain fruit cordial.
We have poured Intrigue behind this counter for years, and the bottle still turns heads, with its elongated neck, gold crowned cap and colors that run ocean blue to lime green to pale pink. Wine Enthusiast has evaluated the line, scoring the original formulation in the 85 to 89 point range and Intrigue Pink at 87.
