Beautiful

The Beautiful is a simply beautiful way to enjoy a very nice cognac. It goes along the theory of the B&B and is nearly as popular. It is in these two drinks that one can see the beauty of simplicity, even the absence of ice allows the drinks to come together in a true way. This is also where you can feel free to bring out the nicer cognacs you want to appreciate without diluting with uncomplimentary mixers.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz cognac
• 1 oz Grand Marnier

Preparation:

1. Build brandy and Grand Marnier in a brandy snifter.
