What to Drink in a Cognac Cocktail: Meukow VS in a Horse's Neck

Listen Later

Anne Sarteaux, International Cellar Master, & Philippe Coste, owner and CEO of Meukow Cognac, join us this week to tell us why Meukow VS works perfectly in a Horse's Neck Highball cocktail!

How to Make a Horse's Neck:  This highball cocktail is bright, refreshing, and complex. Meukow VS is the best Cognac to use, with an emphasis on fruitiness and a smoothness due to a lighter tannin content.

  1. Pour 2 ounces of Meukow VS Cognac in a Collins glass over ice.
  2. Top with Fever Tree Ginger Ale
  3. Garnish with a long strip of Lemon Peel (that's where the cocktail gets its name -- the lemon peel is long and looks like a Horse's Neck!)

    4. What makes Meukow Special:

    • Cellar Master Anne Sarteaux, one of the very few female Cellar masters in the cognac world, blends spirits together like a musical composition, creating a symphony of suppleness, power, and elegance
    • Meukow VS is characterized by its well-balanced blend between the roundness of its fruity notes and the delicacy of its woody nuances
    • The Black Panther on every bottle perfectly embodies the strength, elegance and suppleness which are the intrinsic qualities of this cognac

      • Anne and Philippe also recommend putting the bottle in your freezer, then taking a chilled sip with smoked trout or caviar. Yum!
