Tea & Brandy

Drinking tea and cognac at the same time might not be your first beverage option, but according to Hennessy it´s a match made in heaven. This afternoon I was invited to the Intercontinental Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam to experience just how well those two drinks work together. I tried three different tea flavors together with the Fine de Cognac from Hennessy and lots of delicious small bites. Though it tasted good I have to admit the cognac was quite strong (especially given the fact it was just an ordinary Monday afternoon!). So you´ll understand the lighter cocktails that were served later on felt more like my cup of tea.

Want to try the mix of cognac and tea yourself? Here´s how it goes:
