Upper Crust

Upper Crust

We love orgeat. It's such a cool sweetener as it is not only sweet, but also nutty, and it has this velvety texture. ⁣ ⁣ Using it in the Upper Crust cocktail is perfect. It pairs well with Cognac and it creates a very smooth drinking experience. And the Cognac used gives this drink a rather luxurious feeling.⁣ ⁣ The taste is rich and creamy, with a perfectly balanced level of sweetness. It is a drink to enjoy after a good dinner, as well as to kick off the weekend with!⁣ Upper Crust Recipe by

Limitations No. 2

We spotted this cocktail over at @trufflesontherocks [https://www.instagram.com/trufflesontherocks/] and it was born when owner Jean-Félix was craving a Boulevardier but was out of Campari. Instead, he took all good things he had on hand and created this limit-filled yet limit-less cocktail. And it's a really good one! It's boozy, strong and in -your-face and that wonderful way that a cocktail can be. The Cynar adds the nice bitterness we've come to love in cocktails and the elderflower lique

Transfusion No. 1

Couldn’t resist bringing out this skeleton garnished straw, and shaking up Bar Canon’s transfusion cocktail. Adding red food coloring to a drink we would normally call slight cheating, but on a day like today it seems totally fair! And don’t let the long list of ingredients scare you. They all mix well together, creating a spooky good cocktail. We especially like the addition of chili liqueur, giving the drink a hair rising effect. Happy Halloween!

Cognac in cocktails - yes we think it works really well. There is something luxurious with Cognac isn't there, just like with Champagne. And even if only three quarters of an ounce is used, the Cognac in this drink still shines through and define the whole experience. Mixing it with Drambuie, a type of whisky liqueur, is quite clever. It adds sweetness while enhancing the boozy Cognac at the same time. And yes, that awkward tiny amount of leftover honey syrup in our fridge was finally put into u

May Daisy

May Daisy

May Daisy, by Phil Ward is a Cognac based cocktail. This is still relatively unusual in drinks so the recipe got us intrigued and we needed to make it. And it's good! The Cognac is a powerful spirit, that is somehow tamed in this cocktail, both by the citrus but also by the herbal Chartreuse. The result is a strong but still refreshing cocktail with slight tiki vibes. May Daisy Recipe Ingredients: 2 oz Cognac 1 oz lemon juice 0,75 oz green Chartreuse 0,75 oz simple syrup Mixing: Shake wit

Sweet Talking Son

Sweet Talking Son

The Sweet Talking Son cocktail by Caitlin Ryan was crafted to highlight an American brandy brand not available in our part of the world. But we thought using Cognac would also work. And it did! This is such a cool cocktail where the brandy is is combined with mint (that's not muddled) and maple syrup. It's an aromatic and unique combo that is actually a bit hard to describe. But trust us when we say it's good. We also like the deep and rich colour the drink gets, thanks to the brandy. Served o

I'm On a Boat

I'm On a Boat

The recipe for I'm On a Boat is from bar Stoddard's in Boston. It's a tiki style cocktail based on rum, orgeat and lime. The orgeat combined with the Cognac and rum creates a rather creamy feeling. The cocktail is smooth, silky and shiny. It's extremely easy to drink. Be careful though because it's quite strong! In fact the drink kind of looks like a stormy sea when ice cubes are added and the glass is swirled anti clockwise. We served the drink in a huge Cognac coupe to really get the feeling

Roman Holiday

Roman Holiday

The Roman Holiday might not sound like a winter cocktail, but look close in the ingredients list and you'll see the chili liqueur. And when this spicy spirit is combined with Cognac, rum and orange juice it actually feels like winter. This recipe is from bar Canon in Seattle and in their book there's an interesting text about how spicy spirits can be used to balance sweetness, in the same way as bitters and sours does. Ancho Reyes chili liqueur is relatively sweet on its own, but it's definitel
