Perique Liqueur

[DistillingJim]

Anyone tried this? I find it conceptually terrifying.

There was a thread on that a few years ago. (http://fairtradetobacco.com/threads/4334-Perique-Liqueur)

I'm sure many folks have tried it, but were, alas, unable to make a final FTT post, to describe the terminal symptoms.

I can’t imagine a worse way to use either alcohol or perique... for sure I would enjoy a pipeful of perique and a glass of cognac (or, even better, Armagnac) but mixing the two in a glass leaves me doubtful

Istanbuliun's original thread is quite interesting, especially his observation about nicotine/ethanol boiling points. It would make sense to collect the esthers and aromas and leave the nic and tars.

I'm curious enough that I would probably try it if it were for sale at a bar, but as I still suspect it would be gross, I'm not curious enough to buy a whole bottle.

I've had that ... still got some of it left in fact! It doesn't really taste of perique and is not very nice for other reasons mainly ... it is cloyingly sweet and based on what tastes like quite cheap brandy. Make some sloe gin instead ... yum!

There is several bars making tobacco infused cocktail drinks .
Some make it with tobacco-infused sugar syrup and some make it by burning cigar tobacco leaves under a glass with a ice cube inside .

for some reason I have the impression it would be like swallowing the contents of a spitoon. um, no thanks.

Bars are selling the daylights out of Tobacco drinks . I have shipped tobacco to a bar in NY for making tobacco Smokey drinks .
This is probably just a sale strategy to sell so called special drinks . I have never tried one yet .
Here is one I seen on my local news a couple of weeks ago .

A long time ago, in a kingdom far, far away, people used to be allowed to smoke in a bar or restaurant.

How might modern man get a nicotine fix while consuming ethanol? Voilá! Tobacco beverages.
