Cognac Cocktails
Cognac Cocktails
The smoothest of grape-based spirits, cognac is a brandy that hails from its namesake region located a bit north of Bordeaux. The Cognac region itself is divided into smaller appellations, each offering its own nuanced flavour.
If you’re a purist at heart, simply pour into a balloon glass or snifter, cup the glass in your hand to warm it up a touch and taste. Younger cognacs will feature fruity or flowery notes while older cognacs will offer a hint of spice.
The Ambrosia
Topped with chilled champagne and a spritz of fresh lemon juice, this cocktail is sophisticated and refreshing.
The French 75
Ever since it was published in The Savoy Cocktail Book in the 1920s and became a hit amongst bartenders in Paris and New York, the French 75 has reigned supreme.
The Cognac Alexander
Rich, sweet and creamy, this version of the Alexander is the perfect after-dinner cocktail.
The Sidecar
A classic sour drink from the early 20th century that's refreshingly modern with a hint of sweetness and notes of citrus. Always shaken, never stirred.
Champagne Cocktail
Champagne is the penultimate celebration beverage, and this drink takes the festivities to the next level with a splash of brandy and bitters.
