Made with armagnac and gran mariner and was lovely. Thought it needed a teaspoon of sugar syrup and used a teaspoon of grenadine. Even better.

Agreed. Was a little too dry with just the Cognac-orange liqueur. Maybe even Orange Curacao (as much as it is sacrilege to the name).

Wonderful variation of the classic Cosmo. Be sure to use a good cognac as it is the core ingredient. Did not seem as sweet as the Cosmo, but that may be the organic cranberry juice we used. Wonderful.

Used contreau in replacement for the cognac and it worked great.
