Thanks to mint and a vigorous shake, this bite-sized after dinner cocktail is superbly refreshing.

Very niche recipe yet surprisingly good. It is very easy to drink yet boozy cocktail that heavily reminds of mint Julep.

For us this was next to a perfect digestive. Living in San Diego, CA, USA, our mint grows year round. The subtle hint of orange and the bitters with a whiff of mint on the cognac was exquisite. Another for our evening routine.

Pretty darn good. I think I overdid it on the mint leaves (is there a standard size for a mint leaf in these recipes??), so it ended up tasting a bit like a Mint Julep. The Cognac and bitters emerged in the aftertaste. I would say 'refresher' is an apt moniker. (16 Jun 2023, 7:13a)
