Hpnotiq Harmonie Review

…..With breast cancer awareness month in full swing, we’re thinking “pink” here at 101, and we thought what a perfect time to break out the newest addition to the Hpnotiq family. With much anticipation, and a large buzz surrounding it’s debut, Hpnotiq Harmonie hit the shelves this past June and we’ve been eager to give it a try. Much like Hpnotiq Original, Harmonie offers a refreshing blend of premium french vodka, natural fruit juices, and fine Cognac. Where it differs is the addition of a flower infusion and it’s obviously bright pink hue.

Presentation: No surprise here, Harmonie is packaged in a beautiful bottle molded the same as Hpnotiq original but with a beautiful pink hue to it. Obviously they are hoping to capture some of the female demographic that flocked to the “Nuvo” look and presentation. With a name that has been a constant for years, they are sure to get a good buzz going with this similarly designed packaging.

Aroma: Great smell reminiscent of a sweet smelling wine. Fans of Moscato and Moscato D’asti wines will be very familiar with this one. The flower infused with the drink is apparent but only slightly due to the overwhelming sweetness of the aroma.

Taste: Where to begin? Well much like Hpnotiq original, this one takes two things that many don’t necessarly think to put together and thats cognac and fruit juices. Cognac has a very overwhelming flavor to it, so much that almost any combination of juices won’t make it go away. So for the ladies out there hoping this one is as light and fruity as the previously mentioned Nuvo, i’m sorry to say it’s not. However if you are looking for a bit stronger taste then this one is for you. Not only does the fine cognac come thru nicely but it blends well with the not-to-overly-sweet fruit juices it is infused with. One problem I have with products like it’s competitor “Nuvo”, is that they come off more like slightly spiked sugar water than the alcoholic beverage you expect. This one hits the taste and sweetness on the nose. And with a woman who loves fruity drinks here tasting it with me, we’re going to just use her as the “voice” for all womens opinions. (We know, we don’t REALLY expect every woman to agree). Not to leave out the guys though, men if you’re into fruity drinks be sure to try this one and let us know, but ‘d suggest trying this at home and not ordering it at the bar on guys night out. I’d be lying if I said I could taste much of the floral notes, rather its more of a lingering taste left over in the mouth after the drink has already been consumed. But regardless of how much or little of it is in the recipe, it is in there. In addition to tasting it straight we tried a few of the reccommended cocktails provided courtesy of Hpnotiq. You can find them below.

Grade: B

Price: 17.99-22.99

Overall: Fun drink to make various colorful cocktails, serve at your next girls night out, or to “woo” your significant other right off her feet. If you enjoy Hpnotiq original then you will like this one.
