Armagnac Eggnog Goblet

 

Goblets have a festive look about them, whereas the chalice is more ceremonial in appearance and use, while both conjure the impression of celebration and revelry. The chalice and goblet tend to be large in size and regal in appearance, with the chalice being more ornate and detailed while the goblet is more basic in comparison.

After experiencing the divine nectar of the French Armagnac brandy for the first time recently, which I discovered in preserved figs from France, I decided on a whim to try it for creating an Armagnac Eggnog for the festive season. Its pronunciation rolls off the tongue rather awkwardly, but sounds amusing nonetheless, and I decided to serve it in a goblet, so I am looking at possibilities for an Armagnac Eggnog Goblet. As the Armagnac brandy of Southern France dates back to the fifteenth century and is actually the first wine spirit produced in Europe, I thought its presentation in a goblet would be appropriate.

The goblet name came from the French word ‘gobelet’ around 1300-50 AD, whereas eggnog was derived from from the word ‘nog’, appearing in 1693, which was a wood carved drinking cup. Eggnog is a festive concoction consisting of cream, eggs, sugar and spices mixed with a strong alcoholic beverage or two, created to elevate the spirit. As the chalice can be large enough to function as a compote, I contemplated using one with a more creamy fluid mixture, an Armagnac Le Creme, but settled for a more petite goblet, being appropriate as I didn’t want to start the day with the guests staggering around the garden in a festive stupor. The exotic Armagnac drop has a bit of a kick and cream tends to mask its potency. It also lends itself dramatically to a Crepe Suzzette Flambe.

Downunder, Xmas occurs in the middle of summer, so  a ceramic vessel would also keep it chilled longer then a glass one.

The Armagnaçais of the Amragnac region were distilling brandy two hundred years before cognac was made, the process being brought over from Africa into Southern France by the Moors, who had used distillation for making perfumes. Distinct from Cognac, it undergoes a simplified single distillation process at a lower temperature and is similar to the ancient Georgian wines, the whole vine (stems,leaves and grapes) being used in its production, which delivers more threapeutic qualities to the brandy. Armagnac brandies are the earliest examples of distilled wines known in France and also had the title agua ardente, or fire water.
