The Story Behind The French Riviera
When I use Cognac in cocktails, I almost always use VS. It offers all the wonderful flavors you expect from a Cognac and retains the bright, almost “raw” notes needed to stand up to your other cocktail ingredients. I also tend to use yellow Chartreuse more in cocktails because it's sweet, delicious, and more approachable to general consumers.

- 1 ounce Cognac VS
- ½ ounce yellow Chartreuse
- 1 ounce lime juice
- ½ ounce coconut cream

- Edible flowers, for garnish (optional)
