Brandy Cocktails
Warm, fruit-forward cocktails built on cognac, brandy, or pisco.
Brandy is distilled from fermented fruit — most commonly grapes — and then aged in oak barrels that build in vanilla, dried fruit, and spice. Cognac from France is the most celebrated style, but American brandies, South American pisco, and Normandy's apple-based calvados all bring distinct regional personalities to the glass. Brandy cocktails tend to be warming, fruit-forward, and well-suited to stirred or shaken formats that let the spirit's natural richness come through.
