Cocktail Description
Imagine the lavish marriage of fine cognac with the seductive sweetness of cherry - that's the Cognac Cherry Bliss in a nutshell.
This sophisticated sipper balances the warm, oaky notes of Hennessy V.S. with almond-rich Luxardo Amaretto and the sweet-tart punch of maraschino and fresh lemon juice. The Angostura bitters add depth and complexity, tying everything together with subtle spice notes. While it looks impressive garnished with a lemon twist and plump cherries, this cocktail is surprisingly straightforward to make - just shake, strain, and serve. Perfect for after-dinner relaxation or as a special nightcap when you want something a touch more elegant than the usual suspects. The Cognac Cherry Bliss pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, almond biscotti, or a cheese plate featuring aged gouda or mild blue cheese. It's also substantial enough to stand up to a good cigar, if that's your thing.
