Pierre Ferrand - 1840 Original Formula Cognac

The bold character of 1840 Original Formula is perfect for the alluringly fresh Mint Julep. Jerry Thomas, renowned 19th century bartender and one of the first to extensively compile cocktail recipes, made his classic Mint Julep with cognac. We highly suggest doing the same:

- 2.5 oz Ferrand 1840 Original Formula

- 0.5 oz simple syrup

- 15 mint leaves plus more for garnish

Gently muddle mint and syrup in bottom of julep cup. Add cognac and fill level with crushed ice. Gently stir until cup frosts over then top up with mound of fresh crushed ice and garnish with the reserved mint

Et voilà. In the words of Jerry Thomas himself, you now have yourself a “julep that is fit for an emperor.”
