Make your evenings fancy with these cognac cocktails for the cold weather
Try out these cognac drinks that are perfect for the winter months
Cognac Park

Cognac is a French spirit with a fancy reputation. This type of brandy is made from grapes, and is traditionally French, with an emphasis placed on using high quality varietals and traditional methods. And it can be pricey too -- all of which can make it a bit intimidating for your average home bartender to play with. However, you needn't be afraid of mixing with cognac -- in fact, its bold spirituous qualities make it perfect for use in a range of classic cocktails, and it adds great depth and flavor.

If you're looking for some ways to make use of cognac then these cozy recipes from Cognac Park are just the ticket. The brand offers small batch, handmade cognacs with flavors showing off the terroir of their origins, and the cocktail recipes incorporate ingredients with bold flavors like triple sec, Campari, vermouth, and Benedictine to match up. These would make great introductions to the world of cognac if you're new to the spirit, so don't be afraid to try working with something new.

Chica~Chida

While most people love warm, cozy drinks for the cold winter period, there are some who love to embrace the chilly weather. I have an ice cream-loving friend who insists that the dead of winter is the best time to enjoy a scoop, as it doesn't melt so fast and you can really savor the flavors. If you're on team winter ice cream, then you'll love this fun and unusual recipe for a boozy ice cream float, the perfect way to indulge in sweet, creamy, chilly flavors at this time of year.

The recipe is from Mexican restaurant Barito Tacos & Cocktails in Port Jefferson, New York and makes use of Mexican Coke (famously beloved above US Coke for its use of real sugar instead of corn syrup for sweetening) and well as vanilla ice cream and the delightfully quirky boozy cherry on top, Chica~Chida, a peanut butter agave spirit.
