Is this really served in a coupe glass? That looks like a Nick and Nora glass to me.

Sorry! I've corrected to Nick & Nory.

Nice. Next time I'll try with a better cognac and a little less crème de framboise (1/3 Oz?) that was too present to my taste once the drink is swallowed. Rated 4/5 but could be a 4,5 !
