For 1 person

Ingredients

4 cl Cognac Marquis de Gensac XO

2 cl Amaretto

Ice (1 large cube recommended)

 

Preparation

Fill the glass with one large ice cube (or 2–3 standard ice cubes).

Pour in 4 cl of Cognac.

Add 2 cl of Amaretto.

Stir gently with a spoon for 10–15 seconds to cool and slightly dilute.

Serve without garnish for a classic version, or add a twist of orange zest over the glass for a subtle aromatic touch.

 

Tasting tip

With an XO: velvety texture, notes of dried fruit and sweet spices.

With a VSOP: livelier, with a more pronounced almond flavour.

Can also be served as a digestif, slightly warmed (with less ice).
