A new Sun and Shade style

[Habana Mike]

Always have been a fan of the Sol a Sombra/French Connection cocktails.  Or as some say the Beautiful

A Brandy/Cognac and liqueur blend - generally an Anisette with the SaS and Cognac/Orange liqueur with the latter.

Typically 50/50 or 60/40 given your taste.

With no Grand Marnier on hand tonight figured I would try Legendario EdC with the Remy to achieve a similar essence.

Turned out to be a perfect sip!  I believe the sweet rum liqueur mixes as well or better than the underlying orange in GM.

With an Upmann Mag 46 '17

Give it a try!

Thanks Beard-man,

Never heard of French connection drinks. Looks like the main mix is cognac and amaretto which sounds cloyingly sweet to me. I tried with an armangac and super funky Jamaican rum. They balanced each other out for two spirits that I normally would not enjoy as a neat stand alone. ?
