A tasty trinity of Cognac, spiced rum, and green Chartreuse.
The Holy Water cocktail—a longtime favorite at New Orleans’ Seaworthy where it’s served in a votive candle glass and set aflame—balances out spiced rum’s sweetness with bright citrus and oak-aged Cognac, while a barspoon of green Chartreuse lends herbal depth.
