Charente Crusta

This recipe will take you straight to France 🇫🇷

We were recently invited by our friends at @hinecognacs to visit the Cognac region of France and stay at the incredible Hine House along the Charente river. This amazing experience really opened our eyes to how much time and care goes into each and every bottle of cognac produced there. From the champagne grapes to the barrel they’re aged in, each and every bottle is meticulously cared for. This cocktail is an homage to one of the cognacs we were able to sample during our stay. We were able to take part in tasting any of the Vintage collection which spans for decades, each offering was unique and tasty. The particular one that caught my fancy was bottled in 1986 (my birth year), and I remember it having an apricot forward flavor profile that became the inspiration for a twist on this traditional cocktail.

Of course I was not going to use the 1986 vintage for this cocktail so, this particular recipe was created with HINE Cognac’s H by HINE V.S.O.P. (aged 4 years), which brings a rich, full bodied base to this already wonderful recipe. Make sure to check out the full specs below. Cheers y’all!
