Peach Cognac Smash

Let’s make a Peach Cognac Smash featuring @hinecognacs. I always keep my home bar stocked with H by HINE VSOP as it’s such a versatile cognac. It’s perfect for sipping on ice as well as cocktails like this smash or even a two-ingredient drink like cognac & tonic. If you aren’t familiar with HINE Cognac, they are known for producing some of the world’s finest cognacs for over 250 years. I love making this smash for a fun happy hour with friends at home. This particular cocktail is perfect with H by HINE VSOP as the notes of iris, fresh apricot, acacia, and white pepper pair perfectly with the earthiness of the mint and the sweetness of the peach.

Ingredients:

  • 2 ounces of H by HINE VSOP
  • 3 wedges of lemon
  • ¾ ounces of peach syrup
  • 4 mint leaves

Method:

  1. Add lemon wedges to a shaker then muddle
  2. Add H by HINE, peach syrup, and mint to the shaker with ice
