Cognac in place of vodka.
Why you are pouring this tonight
Cognac in place of vodka. The French Mule is silkier and more elegant than its Russian cousin, the brandy adds dried-fruit depth that the spice of ginger beer plays against.
What to pour it alongside
Pate, baguette, anything with butter. Or a wheel of brie at the end of dinner.
Notes
VS works fine; VSOP is the sweet spot. Save XO for sipping, the ginger beer hides the nuance.
