National Cognac Day – June 4

National Cognac Day is Sunday June 4. Rémy Martin has been gearing up for National Cognac Day for nearly a month. For the past few weeks, Rémy Martin has been promoting National Cognac Day on twitter.

The Rémy Sidecars Takes to the Streets of Chicago

In early May, Rémy Martin launched a fleet of Rémy Martin branded motorcycles with sidecars through the streets of Chicago to celebrate National Cognac Day. The Rémy Martin sidecar fleet was a nod to the origins of the iconic cognac cocktail, the Sidecar.

In conjunction with the Rémy Martin side cars hitting the streets of Chicago, the company held a “take a Remy Sidecar selfie” for a chance to win a trip to France contest.

Mixing a Sidecar

The Sidecar Cocktail can be created exclusively with spirits from Rémy Martin’s parent company Rémy Cointreau. To make a Royal Sidecar: 1 oz 1738 Royal Accord Cognac, .5 oz lemon juice and 1 oz Cointreau.

Rémy Martin has also been promoting Sidecar variations like the Mint Condition and the Sidekick (made with cayenne pepper and pomegranate juice).
