Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Gently place the fresh mint leaves in a tall cocktail glass.

02

Step
1 mins

Add the white sugar and warm water to the glass. (1 minute)

03

Step
1 mins

Carefully muddle the mint, sugar, and water mixture to release the mint's aromatic essence, being gentle not to bruise the leaves. (2 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Add crushed ice to the glass, filling it approximately halfway. (1 minute)

05

Step
1 mins

Pour in the cognac, allowing it to mingle with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine. (1 minute)

06

Step

Top the glass with chilled dry sparkling wine, ensuring a generous effervescence. (1 minute)

For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a fresh mint sprig.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
If crushed ice is unavailable, wrap ice cubes in a clean kitchen towel and gently crush them with a mallet or rolling pin. Alternatively, vigorously shake ice cubes in a cocktail shaker until they crack into smaller pieces.
Choose a high-quality cognac and a dry sparkling wine (such as Brut or Extra Brut) for the best flavor profile.
