If you read the previous post, you'll see that my adoring husband recently made a drink for me. While I found the drink to better than cognac straight from the snifter, it still wasn't quite my sort of drink. However, with him away on a business trip this week, I was able to create my own cognac-based drink without him knowing that I was tinkering with his recipe. I really didn't want to burst his bubble, but having enjoyed my cocktail, I just had to share my version of a French Connection.
1 shot cognac (still Hennessy)
1 shot Amaretto
splash seltzer

A Cold Warming Drink: French Connection
by TK on September 18th, 2008 | Cocktails, Mixed Drinks
I love cognac. This has been a taste that I have acquired over the last 10 years. But for many people, like my lovely bride, cognac has too much bite. The aromatic liquor is strong and can burn going down. So I am always on the lookout for a mixed concoction that will soften the harshness.
So the other night I put together the French Connection:
Place the first three ingregients in a shaker, and shake. Pour in a cocktail glass over ice cubes and add a splash
So the other night I put together the French Connection:
- 1.5 shots of a middle-of-the-road cognac (I used Hennessy)
- .5 shots of amaretto
- ice cubes
- Splash of seltzer
