Review:

Boozy and stirred down. Cognac fortifies and combines harmoniously with the bittersweet herbal and spicy notes of the liqueur. Rich lavender enhances and amplifies these flavours with ginger bitters adding extra zingy spice and toning the blend. Best appreciated as an after-dinner digestif.

History:

Created by yours truly in October 2016 at The Cabinet Room, London, after being inspired by the Élysée Treaty cocktail and appreciating how well Jägermeister mixes with brandy.
