About
This cocktail was created for Dear Irving Gramercy in New York City and appears in the “Island Hop” section of its 2026 menu (thanks to Frederic Yarm for this info). It uses a split base of Cognac and reposado tequila, bringing together the richer fruit and oak notes of the brandy with the earthy agave character of the tequila. Pineapple, lime, and cinnamon push it in a tropical direction, but the equal-parts spirit base keeps it spirit-forward enough to feel a little more substantial than the ingredient list might suggest.Cheers y’all!
