How many brandy or Cognac-based cocktails can you name? Better still, how many do you know how to make? Perhaps a few more once we\u2019re done here\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Brandy is the umbrella term for spirits distilled usually from wine (grapes) but they could also be made from other fruit including apples, and are often aged in oak. As a grape-based spirit, Cognac falls under the brandy umbrella but must adhere to a more specific set of production methods and standards, including being made in the Cognac<\/a> region of France and ageing for a minimum of two years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The maturation process brings complexity and depth that not only works a treat sipped neat, but also makes them the ideal foundation for a well-constructed cocktail. When rye, bourbon and Scotch were being drunk by grizzled rustic types, Cognac was the original cocktail ingredient in such classics as the Old Fashioned<\/a>, Sazerac<\/a>, and Mint Julep<\/a>. Younger offerings allow the distillate to shine, while older expressions take on generous layers of rich, tannic oak, so you\u2019ve got a whole spectrum of flavour to play with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you prefer something sharp and refreshing, or deep and mellow, these spirits form the base for plenty of classics, which we\u2019re going to explore right here, right now. There\u2019s a reason some of these have been appearing on menus for over a century. Right, let’s get shaking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8 great brandy and Cognac cocktails<\/h3>\n

\"National<\/p>\n

Sidecar<\/b><\/h5>\n

The Sidecar is a Prohibition-era cocktail that offers a perfect balance of sweet and tart alongside elegant, silky Cognac.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

30ml <\/span>R\u00e9my Martin 1738 Accord Royal<\/span><\/a>
\n20ml <\/span>Cointreau<\/span><\/a>
\n10ml fresh lemon juice<\/span><\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a coupe glass, garnished with a twist of orange if you prefer a richer character or lemon peel for more fresh, zesty character.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Between the Sheets<\/b><\/h5>\n

If you\u2019ve got some light rum in the cupboard, why not follow up the Sidecar with one of these? It’s a Sour made with Cognac and rum for double deliciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n

25ml <\/span>Hine Rare Cognac<\/span><\/a>
\n25ml <\/span>Doorly’s 3 Year Old<\/span><\/a>
\n25ml <\/span>Cointreau<\/span><\/a>
\n7.5ml fresh lemon juice\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled coupe or Martini glass.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Brandy

Brandy Alexander<\/b><\/h5>\n

A decadent dessert cocktail, the Brandy Alexander mixes brandy with cream and chocolate notes, making it a rich and indulgent treat.<\/span><\/p>\n

30ml <\/span>Bols Brown Creme de Cacao<\/span><\/a>
\n30ml <\/span>Osborne 1866 Solera Gran Reserva<\/span><\/a>30ml whipping or heavy cream<\/span><\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shake all the ingredients with ice and fine strain into a chilled Martini glass. Garnish with some grated nutmeg or a piece of Cadbury\u2019s flake if you\u2019re feeling decadent.<\/span><\/p>\n

French 75<\/b><\/h5>\n

The original recipe calls for gin but switch it out for Cognac and you\u2019ll find elegant richness and warmth that takes this Champagne cocktail to the next level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

45ml <\/span>R\u00e9my Martin 1738 Accord Royal<\/span><\/a>
\n15ml simple syrup
\n<\/span>15ml lemon juice
\n<\/span>Champagne or sparkling wine to top
\n<\/span>Lemon twist<\/span><\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shake the first three ingredients with ice and strain into a coupe or Champagne flute. Top up with chilled Champagne and garnish with a twist of lemon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brandy Sour<\/b><\/h5>\n

Seemingly simple on paper, this one requires precision to pull off successfully. Metaxa is a Greek brandy sweetened with wine so if you\u2019re using something else, you\u2019ll want to adjust the syrup levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

50ml <\/span>Metaxa 12 Stars<\/span><\/a>
\n20ml lemon juice
\n<\/span>10ml sugar syrup
\n<\/span>lemon slice<\/span><\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shake all the ingredients hard and quickly with lots of ice (you don\u2019t want too much dilution). Double strain to remove any ice crystals into a coupe glass, and garnish with a slice of lemon (or you could use an orange twist or a maraschino cherry).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Vieux

Voila! Un Vieux Carre<\/p><\/div>\n

Vieux Carr\u00e9<\/b><\/h5>\n

A staple of New Orleans cocktail culture, the Vieux Carr\u00e9 is a potent, complex drink with layers of flavour, combining whiskey, Cognac, and sweet vermouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

30ml <\/span>Michter\u2019s Rye Whiskey<\/span><\/a>
\n30ml <\/span>R\u00e9my Martin 1738 Accord Royal<\/span><\/a>
\n20ml <\/span>Cocchi Vermouth Di Torino<\/span><\/a>
\n5ml <\/span>Benedictine<\/span><\/a>
\n2 dashes <\/span>Angostura bitters<\/span><\/a>
\n2 dashes <\/span>Peychaud\u2019s bitters<\/span><\/a>
\nDiscarded lemon twist\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Strain into an Old Fashioned glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Metropolitan<\/b><\/h5>\n

The Metropolitan is akin to a brandy Manhattan, featuring a smooth blend of brandy with the herbal notes of sweet vermouth, sweetened slightly by the syrup<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/b><\/p>\n

60ml <\/span>Pierre Ferrand Ten G\u00e9n\u00e9rations<\/span><\/a>
\n30ml sweet vermouth
\n<\/span>3 dashes <\/span>Angostura bitters<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span>Orange twist<\/span><\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stir with large ice cubes and strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with an orange twist.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Horse's

Horse\u2019s Neck<\/b><\/h5>\n

A delightfully simple mixture of brandy, ginger ale, and bitters, garnished with an all-important spiral of lemon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

50ml <\/span>Martell VS Single Distillery<\/span><\/a>
\n2 dashes <\/span>Angostura bitters<\/span><\/a>
\nGinger ale<\/span><\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n
