Green Mountain, A Cognac Cocktail

Chartreuse, lemon and mint harmonize with the darker fruity notes of Cognac in this cocktail from Matthew Williamson, bar manager at Wm. Mulherin’s Sons in Philadelphia.

“Most people think that Cognac should be enjoyed neat, so we wanted to offer a more interesting interpretation of the spirit,” says Williamson.

2 sprigs mint
Tools: shaker, strainer, double strainer
