East India Cocktail

The East India cocktail recipe is barely sweet at all. The touch of dark rum adds a tiny hint of sweetness, and then the dashes of triple sec and pineapple juice add a little more.

The J.O.S. cocktail blends both kinds of vermouth with gin and several dashes of several things. The overall flavor is subtly fruity with tangy notes. This is a serious drink that can be an acquired taste. That said, sweet vermouth tends to be something one either loves or hates, so if you hate it you

Boomerang

The Boomerang cocktail is definitely one to be sipped and enjoyed. It blends the flavors of citrus and peach with notes of oak, making it as interesting as it is tasty. This is a moderately strong drink that’s great for shaking off the day and kicking back for a relaxing evening at home. The orange

Liaison

The Liaison cocktail is a rather unusual combination – cognac and triple sec meet coconut milk. The result is spectacularly smooth. The coconut milk smooths even a cheap cognac while the healthy dose of bitters keep the flavors intact. You’ll taste the oak, citrus and pear notes along with the mellowness of the slightly sweet

Metropole

The Metropole blends the oak and pear notes of cognac with the fruity-herbal notes of dry vermouth, and adds two kinds of bitters to bring out the flavors. The trick with vermouth – when you’re not using just a tiny amount in a dry martini, that is – is to invest in a good vermouth

Caramel Candy {MixThatDrink Original}

The Caramel Candy cocktail centers on Salted Caramel Vodka, and blends it with cream, vanilla and a little cognac for added mystique. It’s very sweet and delicious, thanks to the vanilla liqueur and the sugar on the rim. At first, it hits you with the cognac, but you finish on the burnt vanilla flavor, and

Grand Apple

The Grand Apple cocktail is two ounces of pure alcoholic bliss. Apple brandy and Grand Marnier are married by a touch of cognac, which brings the flavors all together. The dominant flavor is definitely the apple, but it’s more complex than that. The cognac cuts some of the sweetness from the apple brandy. The orange

Ambience

The Ambience cocktail is a drink recipe that balances the flavor of orange with a strong lime component, and a less obvious note of depth from cognac. While it has five ounces of fruit juice in it, it also has a fairly strong alcohol content. Because of the juice, Ambience is one of those cocktails

Hennessy Martini

Hennessy Cognac is so good you can drink it straight up. It’s well-balanced and smooth. The Hennessy Martini cocktail recipe just adds a tiny bit of lemon to it, much the same way a martini made with good gin just needs a tiny bit of vermouth. While Hennessy is just a tiny bit sweet, the
