d'Essart

2 oz Cognac
2 t Ginger syrup
1⁄2 t Cinnamon syrup
2 t Islay Scotch, Lagavulin 16
Instructions

Stir without ice and serve in a tasting glass or goblet.

Notes

A scaffa (room temperature cocktail) designed to highlight some of the subtle smoke and spice of a delicate and floral Cognac (Chateau Paulet). Works well with any good brandy (especially Calvados). Named for a minor but dashing character from The Three Musketeers.
