    FAQ

    Can I Make Strawberry Hennessy with Other Brandy Brands?

    While Hennessy is the preferred brand of cognac for this cocktail, feel free to make it with other brands of cognac or even other types of brandy. However, the flavor and texture may differ slightly.

    How to Slice Strawberries for This Hennessy Cocktail?

    To make a delicious Strawberry Hennessy cocktail, you will need to slice fresh strawberries. The best way to do this is to first remove the stem and leaves,then, slice the strawberries into thin pieces using a sharp knife.

    What’s the Best Way to Measure Hennessy?

    When measuring Hennessy for a cocktail, it’s important to use the correct amount to ensure that the cocktail is balanced and delicious. The best way to measure Hennessy is to use a jigger, which is a small measuring cup used in bartending. A standard jigger measures 1.5 ounces of liquid.

    Can I Mix Hennessy and Tequila?

    We wouldn’t recommend mixing Hennesy and tequila because these two spirits have totally different flavors and textures. Together, they’ll create an unbalanced and unpleasant cocktail.

    Does Hennessy Have a Strawberry Flavor?

    Hennessy does not have a strawberry flavor, but it pairs well with the sweetness of fresh strawberries to create a delicious cocktail.

    Apple juice and Hennessy are a delicious combination, as the sweetness of the juice pairs well with the richness of the cognac. However, the exact taste may vary depending on the proportions of each ingredient used.
