French Sunset

By Guillermo Neffke, Editor

In this recipe from Romain Fornell’s Azul restaurant, we discover a classic old fashioned cocktail with cognac in the starring role.

Being an old fashioned, it is considered an after dinner drink, best enjoyed in good company after a meal, when you are not ready for the evening to end.
