Cocktail Description
The Sunset Sashay captures the elegant transition from day to night in a glass, blending rich cognac with bright citrus notes in perfect harmony.
This sophisticated cocktail combines the warm, fruity character of Hennessy V.S. Cognac with the orange essence of Giffard Triple Sec, while Lillet Rouge adds subtle wine notes and spice complexity. Fresh lemon juice provides a bright, balancing acidity that prevents the drink from becoming overly sweet. Perfect for early evening gatherings or as an after-dinner treat, the Sunset Sashay works beautifully as both an aperitif and digestif. Thankfully, it's straightforward to prepare—just a quick shake with ice and a fine strain into a chilled martini glass, topped with an aromatic orange zest twist. The cocktail pairs wonderfully with rich appetizers like duck rillettes, mushroom pâté, or aged cheeses, where its bright acidity cuts through fatty textures while its cognac backbone complements savory flavors.
