Origins of the Cognac Zoom
The origins of the Cognac Zoom can be traced back to France, where cognac has been produced for centuries.

Tips for Making the Perfect Cognac Zoom:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Since this cocktail only contains three main ingredients, it's important to use top-notch spirits like premium cognacs and quality citrus juices for best results.
- Don't skip shaking: Shaking helps blend all the flavors together while chilling down your drink at the same time – don't skip this step!
- Experiment with garnishes: While traditionalists may prefer a simple lemon twist or wheel as garnish, feel free to get creative by adding other fruits like oranges or berries for an extra pop of color.
