The best choice to enjoy Cognac

 

Tulip glasses are widely regarded as the ideal choice to enjoy Cognac, as they minimize potential errors in the tasting experience. The exquisite design of these glasses, with their elongated stems resembling tulip flowers, bell-shaped cup bodies, and gently curved mouths, exudes a sense of beauty. As the aromas gather within the glass and pass through the slightly narrower opening towards the tip of the nose, they deliver a crisp and pure sensation, allowing the drinker to fully immerse themselves in the captivating charm of Cognac.

Cognac cocktail glass selection

With the increasing popularity of Cognac cocktails, the selection of the appropriate cocktail glass becomes a matter of advanced understanding for enthusiasts. For instance, the Sidecar, which typically contains a smaller amount of base spirit and mixer, pairs well with the inverted cone-shaped (V-shaped) Martini Glass. This type of glass is readily available and commonly used for a variety of cocktails. On the other hand, when preparing a Stinger cocktail with a higher proportion of base spirit, along with a few ice cubes and mint sprigs for garnish, the thicker and larger capacity Old Fashioned Glass is better suited to accommodate the drink.
