Notes

Via Pierre Ferrand: "This Cognac-based twist upon the Algonquin Cocktail is Jim Meehan's tribute to Colin Peter Field, who runs the Hemingway Bar in Paris’s Ritz Hotel."

  • This one is definitely unique, but I'm a huge fan. I usually use Dolin dry.
  • Louis Royer, Dolin. Nicely dry, but the flavors just do not work for me. It might work with a softer Cognac and perhaps more stirring to integrate (though it was plenty dilute already).
