Drink Recipes

  Drink Description
Details Frozen Strawberrt Daiquiri This is a slightly different take of the rum original. Drained, canned strawberries may be used if fresh fruit is not in season, but be sure to wash off the sugar syrup before use.
Details Hard Case This is a small drink with a distinct fruity flavor.
Details Last Goodbye Cognac generally goes well with the flavors of cherry brandy and triple sec and that case stays true in this appealing drink.
Details Bayou This is a rich and fruity drink with lots of peach flavor and a refreshing sour finish.
Details Harvard This drink was invented at Harvard University sometime in the 1920s. The original recipe called for equal parts brandy and vermouth, but no lime juice. Today the recipe has changed slightly to give the drink a less sweet, but more balanced taste.
Details Between the Sheets This drink was created in the 1920s but saw a resurgence of popularity in the 1980s. This is a strong, sharp cocktail.
Details Stinger The Stinger is a highly adaptable drink that can easily be ported to whatever liquor suits your fancy. It is simply 2/3 any spirit you choose and 1/3 creme de menthe. Originally this drink was made using cognac as is illustrated in the following recipe.
Details Cognac Highball A pretty standard cognac drink, but that is in no way a bad thing.
Details Brandy Alexander This cocktail is know as a great pre-party drink or after dinner drink. The cream in this drink is great for settling down stomach acids and also lines the stomach.

Product Description

  • The first X.O since 1870. Woody, spicy, vanilla, matured fruits, structured, cinnamon. Hennessy X.O is a blend of around one hundred "eaux-de-vie" from Cognac's finest growing regions, carefully matured in our cellars. Hennessy X.O can be served neat, but is also often enjoyed "on the rocks": a great tasting experience. "When I add ice to my X.O, this immediately releases the subtle flavors and aromas of this magnificient cognac", says Mr. Gilles Hennessy, 7th generation of the legendary Cognac family.
