1
Chill the Glass
Begin by chilling a cognac glass. You can do this by placing it in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes.
2
Pour the Cognac
Remove the glass from the freezer and pour 1 bottle (750 ml) of Louis XIII Cognac into the glass.
3
Add Water
Gently add 50 ml of water to the cognac. This will help open up the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Carefully place 3 ice cubes into the glass to chill the cognac further without diluting it too much.
5
Garnish
Add a slice of orange peel on the rim of the glass and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate shavings on top for an elegant garnish.

6
Serve
Serve the cognac immediately and enjoy it slowly to savor the rich and complex flavors.
