One of our most popular cocktails from Thanksgiving through to the end of the December holiday period. Reminiscent of a brandy-based Negroni served straight-up...
I wouldn't compare this to a Negroni (one of my favorites) but I think it's a more genteel version of a Boulevardier. The cognac doesn't pack the punch of the bonded and cask strength Bourbons I usually use. I did enjoy this cocktail, though.
