We wanted to bring a French touch to this recipe, a variant of the Negroni traditionally made with Bourbon. With Hennessy Very Special Cognac, we created a recipe that is more delicate and elegant than the original, while developing fruity and floral notes. Subtle notes of orange peel, introduced by a wine-based aperitif created by CRAVAN, complete the aromatic palette.
The convergence of expertise is at the heart of all Franck Audoux's creations. This cocktail was created in close collaboration with Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, Master Blender of Maison Hennessy, to craft a cocktail that closely respects the characteristics of this cognac.
Free from flavorings, colorings, preservatives, additives, and added sugars.
