We recently had the pleasure of the company of our 25 year old daughter and some of her friends over an al fresco BBQ dinner. Their consensus was that this cocktail is "really cool"...which is good enough for us. For the Port, we used Barossa Valley's Bethany Old Quarry Fronti, a white Port, and upped its volume to 30ml so that it could go toe to toe with the Cognac. Such a fun cocktail.

Perhaps a poor man's Haberdasher. On the other hand, that might not be defensible whenever Cognac is in the mix. And, complicated and fiddly as they are, a Haberdasher is best enjoyed when there is someone wearing a bow tie to mix it for you.
