A limited edition Hennessy VS, bottled as part of a collaboration with the NBA (the National Basketball Association, for anyone who has never ventured outside). To celebrate the launch, the French Cognac brand has put together several cocktail recipes inspired by the sport, like the one below.
The Playmaker Cocktail:
45ml Hennessy V.S
60ml Sprite
60ml cranberry juice
10ml fresh lemon juice
1 lemon wedge
Pour the Hennessy Cognac into a Rock's glass and add ice. Add the other ingredients (except the Sprite) and stir, then top up with Sprite. Finally, garnish with a lemon wedge.
Woody and nutty, with a little sweetness. Develops rounded floral notes, with elements of berries, vanilla spice and plenty of oak later on.
