Cognac-laced and herbal with hints of liquorice, Pied-à-terre (which translates from French to mean 'foot on the ground') makes for a great after-dinner...
Great cocktail! Surprisingly, cognac is at the forefront and with this balance, the herbal liqueur does not overpower it at all. You first taste cognac enhanced with herbal notes, and the finish is for the vermouth.
This is a really nice digestif cocktail that is not too sweet tasting. Lots of herbaceous flavour between the Jager and the Peychaud's and the Cognac balances everything nicely I used Larsen VSOP and it was very enjoyable.
Not sure about the star anise garnish though…
