Hennessy VS is a versatile spirit that shines in classic cocktails. The most iconic choice is the Sidecar, a refreshing blend of cognac, orange liqueur, and fresh lemon juice. Its bright acidity perfectly balances the richness of the spirit.
For something simpler, try a Hennessy Ginger. Combine two parts ginger ale with one part cognac over plenty of ice, and garnish with a fresh lime wedge. The spice of the ginger highlights the subtle vanilla notes found in the cognac.
If you prefer a sophisticated evening drink, a Cognac Old Fashioned is an excellent choice. Use a dash of aromatic bitters and a sugar cube to accentuate the deep, fruity undertones of the blend. It is a timeless way to enjoy the depth of Hennessy.
