Black seems to be a VS Cognac from the house of Hennessy, and that means it’s quite a young one. It doesn’t say on the label whether it’s a VS, a VSOP or something else – but we assume it’s a VS, which is totally fine because it’s supposed to be a mixable cognac.

Hennessy Black is quite a modern Cognac, clearly targeted at Urban African-American consumers.

Now, Hennessy Black mixes as any other VS or VSOP cognac, so let’s have a look at some mixdrinks!

Last week we’ve invented a new mixdrink which should go very well with the black Henny.

A Cognac Cocktail Recipe we like

What you need is:

• a slice of lemon
• 7Up or Sprite
• ice cube
• of course some cognac
• some Badoit water (sparkling mineral water)
• if possible, some Pineau

Now, first comes the Cognac, then one or two ice cubes. Now cut the lemon and squeeze some into the glass, add that lemonade.. and a slice of lemon. Done!
