Make The Strat’s purple cocktail with Hennessy

Fruity cocktails don’t always need to be made with rum or vodka. The Look Out Below at View Lounge at The Strat gets its rich flavor from a bubbly peach lambic and the nutty finish of cognac. And blackberry preserves give it a bold purple ombre color.

Ingredients

5 ounces Lindeman’s Peche Lambic

1½ ounces Hennessy V.S. Cognac

1 ounce fresh lemon sour

2 dashes of Australian Aromatic Bitters

2 bar spoons of blackberry preserves

Garnish

Frozen blackberries

Dried lemon wheel

Directions

Combine all ingredients except the lambic in a cocktail tin with ice. Shake and strain into a highball glass over ice. Top with lambic and add garnish.
