Had some dry vermouth lying about. Wanted to use it for something else than Dry Martinis. Found this recipe and I am now totally converted to using dry vermouth for making Prestiges rather than Dry Martinis. It was that good! Mouth puckering sour, warm spicyness and rum-sweetness, perfectly balanced in every sip.

I always thought that no cognac cocktail could be better than a sidecar. This proved me wrong! Absolut perfect balance of sweet, sour, herbal and fruity.

If you - like me - love absinthe.
If you - like me - love cognac.
This is for you!
Exceptional drink! My wife thought it was the worst.
But she´s no fan of absinthe.

I used 2 whole figs (had to, because they were imported and therefore a bit less aromatic) local harvested honey and 5 ml of homemade grenadine. The result was a very sweet drink, thick with figpulp (even if i doublestrained it) and with a
subtle taste of cognac. Sounds weird, but tasted great!
