Women Shaking up the World of Mixology: Triple C with Hennessy
Meike's serve brings a 19th-century favourite right up to date. Inspired by a classic crusta, named for its sugar-crusted rim, it sets off Hennessy's nutty side with vanilla and the lightness of Moët & Chandon. And with cognac, champagne and crusta in the mix, you'll see why it's called Triple C.
