I adore cognac and brandies. They are fun to cook with, drink, mix create some dessert sauce. *(Imagine any of the Hennessy products mixed with Robert Lambert Brand’s artisanal sauces including the Ginger Caramel Sauce, any of the chocolate sauces and even mix it into one of the marmalades for a bit of a unique glaze for a piece of meat or poultry OR for the base of a cocktail.Yummy!
