The Summit!

                   

- 4 cl of brandy (cognac, fine bordeaux..)
- Add 4 thin slices of ginger 
- Add zest of 1 lime
- Add 6 cl lemonade (soda, sprite, 7up)
- (optional) Add 1 peel cucumbers

  

Proceed to "Summit" recipe directly into the glass. 
Remove the ginger slices and lemon zest in the glass.   

Add 2 cl of Brandy and press lightly 2-3 times ginger with a pestle.   

Place 4 or 5 ice cubes and stir 5 seconds with a spoon. Put again 2 cl Brandy and add lemonade.  
Shake 5 seconds with a spoon.  

Serve in a glass of "old fashioned" type.  
 

Use a VSOP cognac or VO. Preferably, for this cocktail, we used Brandy "Thompsons" from Bordeaux, fresh ginger and artisanal lemonade. you can use the peel cucumber to decorate.       

          This cocktail is really delicious, lightly bitter and spicy, brandy gives complexity to the mix.


 HISTORY
This cocktail was created in 2008 during the first international cocktail summit in Cognac by 17 bartenders. They aimed at creating a cocktail with Cognac to perpetuate the cognac tradition by being creative. They wanted to create a bestseller cocktail like mojito for rhum, cosmopolitan for vodka or margarita for tequila
