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

splash gingerale

Pour all ingredients into a low ball glass filled with ice.  Stir well, and enjoy.
