A toast to health and wealth is always classic.  They are tried and true themes that we all wish for those we care about. The holidays are no different. Wealth comes in many forms such as a great drink with friends. That can be equal to all the wealth in the world. Here is a wonderful punch to raise high with family and friends to ring in the new year.

This decadent cocktail starts with the ancient elixir of kings and queens, Cognac. Pierre Ferrand, an ancient artisanal cognac, creates a very easy and delicious foundation in the glass. Floral and elegant, the cognac has body, yet no rough points, which makes it easy to explain its longevity. To heighten the sense of the holiday, classic flavor pairings of cinnamon and grapefruit add sour and spice, that reminisce of a kitchen full of holiday essence.  Cranberry adds a little tart and sweet, rounding the drink out. The holiday symphony is complete by adding the Jean Louis Cuvee. Bright and dry, it adds the perfect touch to make any cocktail truly worth its weight in gold.  This season, toast to everyone, and they will appreciate a touch of the “Punch of Wealth.”
