No-one can deny that the way we enjoy Cognac has changed almost beyond all recognition over the past couple of decades.

The use of Cognac in mixed drinks and cocktails is now commonplace in virtually every country around the world. You only need look at the fact of many Cognac brands producing lines that are intended to specifically be used in cocktails to realise how much our beloved drink has embraced the 21st century. It was probably in the USA that Cognac cocktails first became truly popular, and the trend was soon followed by nations the world over.

For example, look at the ‘beautiful people’ of China sipping their Cognac cocktails in the hottest night clubs and bars and you can appreciate how true this is. So, to celebrate this, we decided to create the Cognac Expert ‘top 30′ best Cognac Cocktails and mixed drinks list. And if that’s not enough for you, then make sure you check out our Cognac Drinks & Cocktails section. Fever Tree tonic Summit Cocktail - A lemon press is essential.

What Katie Ate: Happy 4th of July! :) As the post title states: Happy 4th of July to all readers in the USA To honour the occasion, I thought it would be a nice idea this week to upload some recipes which were inspired from my recent time in the States. I tasted and savoured quite a few sliders during my time away and was on a mission when I can home to write a good recipe for these tasty little burgers. I paired them with some homemade brioche buns (I find it good to keep a burger bun on the softer side so brioche style works well) and a nice piquant chili tomato relish.

It was a gorgeous day today in Sydney, we all totally forgot it is still actually Winter and Summer is still a few months away as it was 20˚C and gloriously sunny. A busy week ahead for me this week, more recipe writing for the book and a few magazine editorial shoots. X When I was in NYC I picked up a bottle of Absolut’s special edition Absolut Brooklyn.

Now, we all can celebrate. Happy Father’s Day to all the awesome fathers out there. Kiwi-Strawberry Bellini Makes: 8 servings 4 Zesperi Kiwi 16 Strawberries 1 (750ml) bottle Prosecco Remove skin from kiwifruits, cut into quarters.

We had a 5 pound bag of grapefruits staring at us for days.

That usually happens only when produce are on huge sale and we kinda go amok to store as though as the world would suddenly be deprived of grapefruits. At least, BJ’s went deprived of one huge bag, thanks to me. Naturally I used whatever citruses I could lay my hands on and made sangria. Mmmm….
