Main Ingredients

Optional Garnishes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a snifter glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit for a few minutes, then emptying it before use.

  2. 2

    Pour the Cognac

    Measure 50 ml of Hennessy XO Cognac using a jigger and pour it into the chilled snifter glass.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add three ice cubes to the glass. This will slightly chill the cognac while not diluting it too much.

  4. 4

    Garnish with Orange Peel

    Take a piece of orange peel and twist it over the glass to release its oils. Then, place it in the glass as a garnish.

Optional Serving Suggestions

  1. 5

    Pair with Dark Chocolate

    For an elevated experience, serve a small piece of dark chocolate on the side to complement the flavors of the cognac.

  2. 6

    Add a Cinnamon Stick

    For added aroma and flavor, stir the drink gently with a cinnamon stick before enjoying.
