Sweet Talking Son

cocktail Apr 29, 2018

The Sweet Talking Son cocktail by Caitlin Ryan was crafted to highlight an American brandy brand not available in our part of the world. But we thought using Cognac would also work.

And it did! This is such a cool cocktail where the brandy is is combined with mint (that's not muddled) and maple syrup. It's an aromatic and unique combo that is actually a bit hard to describe. But trust us when we say it's good.

We also like the deep and rich colour the drink gets, thanks to the brandy. Served on a big ice cube inside the rocks glass the drink looks very fresh and crisp.
