Hennessy® Cognac Cocktail: Cran-Henny

I love collecting limited-edition bottles but not as much as having a glass of good cocktail.

The Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilege Collection NyX limited-edition bottle is created to reflect the world’s best-selling cognac’s contestant spirit and dynamical nature.

The shiny Hennessy V.S.O.P Helios, the first product of Hennessy’s Privilege Collection. The iconic cognac’s bottle is redesigned in a modern translucent platinum glass with metallic purple trim. Logos are etched in luminescent ink on the label, collar, and cork and are visible only under black light—cool.

My husband Tom enjoys a glass of cognac once in a while. I, on the other hand, enjoy watching him nurse his drink on the palm of his hands while legs are crossed. He looks sophisticated holding his cognac glass even in shorts at home, haha!

I like a kick-ass cocktail myself. I’m trying something new: a cognac cocktail. Try this mix! It’s perfect for weekend entertaining.

Cran-Henny

Cran-Henny recipe:

1 1/4 oz Hennessy® cognac
4 1/2 oz cold cranberry juice

Pour Hennessy cognac into an old fashioned glass (personally, I like serving it in a long-stemmed red wine glass) with iced-cold cranberry juice. Stir lightly and serve. You can also serve this with ice.

8% (16 proof)

Mmm…

While taking photos and sipping my Cran-Henny at the same time, my son jumps in the shot and shouts “BULAGA!!!” Hu.La.Sey.

Drink moderately

The Hennessy® V.S.O.P Privilege Collection NyX limited-edition bottle will also look fabulous on your bar cart!

What is V.S.O.P?

Very Special Old Pale is a popular meaning for the VSOP aging grade which, according to Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac,[1] stands for Very Superior Old Pale.[2] It is used in French brandies with notable examples being:

• Cognac, made in the Cognac region.
• Armagnac, made in the Armagnac region.

Designations like “XVSOP” or “VSOPX”, wherein “X” stands for “Extra”, are often encountered. Source
