Generally, I really like Cognac and avoid Vodka cocktails - but in this case I far prefer the French Martini to the French Cocktail. Used Ferrand 1840.
I was originally introduced to the French Martini as a vodka based drink, but using cognac as the base spirit is a notable level up binding the cocktail's flavors together.
