  • Definitely a desert cocktail. Don't overdo the nutmeg. It works fine (and much cheaper) with Korbel Brandy rather than XO Cognac. :-) — ★★★★
  • Skip the chocolate. I make my BAs: 2/1/0.25 cognac/cream/syrup + fresh nutmeg as per a recipe I found in Arnold's Liquid Intelligence. It's dessert but it's fantastic.
  • Prefer 1:1:1 ratio, use good cognac and Mozart Dark Chocolate
  • Bad with cheap brandy. Not sure it's worth making with Cognac either using MB white cacao (but haven't tried yet).

  • Variants: Add either 1/2 oz Don's Mix or 1/2 oz Orgeat.
  • Balanced? No. Delicious? Hell yeah
  • This is not a Piña Colada. Colada refers to a colander or strainer. Piña Colada means 'strained pineapple'.
