Arago

The Arago cocktail is a delightful blend that marries the rich, complex flavors of Cognac with the sweet, tropical notes of crème de banane, all balanced by the luxurious texture of whipping cream. This indulgent cocktail offers a smooth, velvety experience that is both comforting and sophisticated. The Cognac provides a robust base, while the crème de banane adds a fruity sweetness, and the whipping cream lends a creamy, luscious finish. It's a perfect choice for those who enjoy rich and dessert-like drinks.

The history of the Arago cocktail is not well-documented, but it likely takes inspiration from classic French and dessert cocktails, given its use of Cognac—a staple in French spirits—and crème de banane, a liqueur known for its banana flavor. The name "Arago" could be an homage to a historical figure or place, as is common in the naming of cocktails, although specific details are scarce. Regardless of its origins, the Arago is a refined choice for cocktail enthusiasts looking to indulge in a creamy, flavorful drink.
