Cognac

"Cognac is a brandy produced from white grapes (mostly ugni blanc) which are grown in the strictly-defined region of the Charentes (Department 16 and 17) and a small part of Deux Sevres. This region is divided into growths (crus) based on soil characteristics that are reflected in the final product."

Now, all of the above is true, however, way too technical for me.
For me, Cognac is served after a lovely meal, on the veranda, watching the sun set over the Pacific, with a Cuban cigar, and a lanky brunette with beckoning eyes.......
Otherwise, it's also good the next morning....
Awake From The Dead Cocktail
For the morning after crowd. INGREDIENTS
NOTE : Personally, I use a clear coffee cup and saucer for this instead of a cocktail glass. It makes everyone else think that you're not too much of a lush. If only they really knew. |
Regardless of how you serve it, your Cognac will appreciate it if you remember to keep its bottle upright, in a dark place, and at room temperature.
Enjoy yours today!
