  • What to do with cognac.

    Never been a brandy man but my uncle gave me a bottle of Bache Gabrielsen XO for Xmas. Do you drink it straight up, on the rocks, in a mixed drink, or something else? I'm not sure what to do with it but I'm thinking about opening it, suggestions please.

      Sip it straight up.

        For the record doing it straight up in a sniffer I found in the back of the cabinet.

          You're not already drunk? I guess you could drink it.

            I've had a few but always room for one more. Watching the 24 hour news about Iowa is getting boring.

              Iowa news. Odd follow-up to discovering a sophisticated beverage.

                This is not really my drink. Smooth but not to my taste. Odd as I was told it was a good cognac.

                    Using cognac instead rum makes killer eggnog. Incredibly smooth.

                      That actually sounds good.

                        I honestly didn't know that. Thank you.

                          yes, get a few good appropriate glasses.

                          also, if you´re into smoking, get a few good cigars. blow the smoke into the cognac glass. smell.

                            O dipped his dogs snout into the cognac, then had the dog lick his face. Very French.

                              This would be the accepted method.

                              You can also enjoy some other bevies that way. A friend introduced me to 'fine' tequila in a snifter that is very smooth.
