I couldn’t wait to get to the office to tell you all about a wonderful evening I had with the team at Hennessy V.S. The company held an exclusive private luncheon at the posh eatery, Brasserie Cognac in New York City. Guests enjoyed a French cuisines and delicious specialty cocktails, perfected by Hennessy Master Mixologist Jordan Bushell.
As I entered I was greeted by the lovely Hennessy models who provided a selection of the Remixed Hennessy V.S. cocktails: Citrus, Ginger, Berry and Apple.
As I made my way through the restaurant I spotted model and Lady Hennessy, Toccara Jones, who dished, “I was honored when Hennessy came to me again and asked me to lead Hennessy Remixed with mixologist Jordan Bushell. The four flavor profiles are each varying – and might I add delicious – examples of the many ways Hennessy V.S can be enjoyed. Jordan and I are excited to travel the U.S. together to shake things up and add a twist to a classic spirit.”
I spoke with Jones in this exclusive video below which also features footage from the party at the Moët Hennessy USA offices.
After our conversation, mixologist Jordan Bushell paired the cocktails with a with a luxurious lunch:
