How cognac cocktails gained worldwide fame
There is a lot of controversy about where the first alcoholic cocktails appeared. But we will not go into the details of the discussion about who holds the palm in the invention of the mixture of drinks - New York, the French province of Charente or England. Another thing is important: if it were not for prohibition in America in the 20s of the twentieth century, cocktails would now remain a regional pampering, unknown to the general public. When a decree was passed in the United States in 1919 banning the production and sale of alcohol, the thirsty quickly found a way out: they added it to other drinks and sold it under the guise of completely legal soft drinks. It was then that cocktails with cognac gained worldwide popularity.
Contribution to the global treasury of drinking culture
In 1933 Prohibition was repealed. But alcoholic cocktails already firmly occupied the first places in the ranking of popular drinks. A special revelation for the Americans was that the ideal basis for the mixture was not whiskey or gin, but cognac. Many cocktail recipes contain this thick strong distillate with a characteristic pleasant aroma as a component.
The first mixtures were quite simple: they appeared long before the invention of all kinds of shakers, bar strainers and ice crushers. They are easy to make at home, because they are, in fact, a simple mix of alcoholic beverages. Champagne is considered the oldest cognac drink. Creating it is extremely simple. At the bottom of the glass you need to pour 25 g of cognac, literally drip bitter Angostura Bitter, put a cube of cane sugar and pour champagne (125 ml). For the past two years, Mojito has been very popular - both alcoholic and plain cold. But few people know that even at the dawn of the twentieth century, the French Mojito cocktail was known, for the preparation of which it was proposed to dilute 50 ml of cognac with 50 ml of soda
And 20 ml of citrus syrup. And in the glass you should add three slices of lime and a couple of mint leaves.
Shaker cocktails with cognac
Cognac has another good quality: he is "friends" with other liquids and even with milk. The shaker allows you to bring the mixture to a homogeneous consistency. To prepare the Alexander cocktail, you need to fill the upper compartment of the device with ice cubes, and pour 20 ml of cognac and the same amount of Creme de Cacao liqueur and cream into the lower compartment. Shake vigorously for about 10 seconds, then strain through a strainer into a glass. Sprinkle nutmeg on top for flavor.
Cocktails with cognac using the build and blend method
The build method (“construction”) is a careful mixing of drinks of different densities, which are arranged in layers in a glass. Cognac goes well with sweet liqueurs, bitter absinthe, as well as juices and syrups. The blending method consists in mixing the ingredients with a blender. The Russian Roulette cocktail is prepared in the first way: ice cubes are placed in a highball glass, then 50 ml of Meukow VS Vanilla are added, followed by 25 ml of cognac, and then 100 ml of any tonic. The rim of the glass is garnished with a carambole star or lime wedge. To prepare the Chatterbox cocktail, you will need a blender. A peeled banana, a glass of cognac and two glasses of cherry liqueur are ground, poured into a glass. Can be garnished with a cocktail cherry.

Cocktails with cognac gained recognition and fame quite recently, in the 20th century. Initially, pure alcohol was diluted with water or cola in order to reduce the degree of the drink.
