Method
Preparation
Chill the Glass
Begin by chilling your preferred glassware, such as a snifter or rocks glass. You can do this by placing the glass in the freezer for about 15 minutes or filling it with ice water for a few minutes.
Measure the Cognac
Pour 750 ml of cognac into a measuring cup or directly into the chilled glass. If you're serving multiple drinks, consider pouring a standard serving of 1.5 oz (about 45 ml) per glass.
Mixing
Optional Sweetening
If you like your cognac a bit sweeter, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the cognac and stir until fully dissolved. This step is optional and can be adjusted based on your personal taste.
Add Bitters
For added complexity, add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the cognac mixture. Stir gently to incorporate.
Serving
If you prefer your cognac chilled, add 5 ice cubes to the glass. Otherwise, serve it neat without ice. Enjoy your cognac straight or as part of a cocktail.
