Cocktail Description

Silky, indulgent, and impossibly smooth, the Zoom transforms cognac into a dessert-worthy experience that will have you questioning why you've been drinking regular martinis all this time.

This luxurious cocktail combines the rich, fruity depth of Hennessy V.S. Cognac with the velvety texture of cream and the natural sweetness of honey, creating a balanced drink that's both sophisticated and comforting. The addition of milk lightens the mixture while maintaining its creamy mouthfeel, resulting in a cocktail that drinks like liquid silk with warm honey and subtle oak notes from the cognac. Perfect for after-dinner sipping or as a special nightcap, the Zoom shines during cooler months or whenever you crave something rich yet refined. While it requires a bit of attention to properly balance and shake the dairy components, the cocktail is surprisingly straightforward to prepare at home. The chocolate powder garnish adds an aromatic finishing touch that complements the drink's honeyed sweetness. This cocktail pairs beautifully with desserts featuring caramel, vanilla, or fruit elements, and makes an excellent companion to a cheese board featuring mild, creamy selections.
