A spirit-forward stirred cocktail with the warmth of cognac, the richness of sweet vermouth, and a subtle chocolate-spice bitterness. Served up in a coupe, it drinks like a Manhattan variation with an elegant aromatic garnish.

Cook Notes Summary
The cocktail was enjoyable and worth making again, with the orange twist pairing well with the drink. It tasted slightly flat, likely due to the cognac, so next time use a higher-quality or more expressive cognac to add depth and lift.
