Cocktail Description
The French Twist is what happens when a classic Martini takes a Parisian vacation and returns with sophisticated new friends.
This elegant cocktail combines the rich, fruity complexity of Hennessy V.S. Cognac with the bright orange notes of Giffard Triple Sec, balanced by the herbal dryness of Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth and anchored with a few dashes of Angostura bitters. In the glass, you'll find a silky, amber-hued sipper that starts with warm cognac notes before revealing layers of citrus, herbs, and subtle spice. The French Twist makes an impressive dinner party aperitif that's sophisticated enough for special occasions but simple enough to mix at home with just a mixing glass and bar spoon. Its balanced profile pairs beautifully with cheese boards, particularly aged Comté or Brie, though it also complements seafood dishes like scallops or a classic French onion soup. For the best experience, make sure all components are properly chilled before mixing.
