Chicago Blues
LIQUOR: Brandy, Sparkling Wine
DIFFICULTY: Moderate
When we heard that Buddy Guy (one of our favorite Blues Gurus) in Chicago preferred cognac, we set about developing a series of cognac-based cocktails in his honor. This year-round favorite is cooling, citrusy, and tickles your nose with bubbles compliments of a nice Prosecco.
