About this drink
More on the French Connection
What it tastes like
Served spirit-forward.
Why this recipe works
Stirring keeps the French Connection silky and lets the spirit stay centre-stage — there's no citrus to froth, so dilution and chill come from gentle contact with ice rather than aeration.
When to serve it
Serve after dinner instead of dessert.
Common mistakes
- Over-stirring. Stop once the outside of the mixing glass is cold and frosted — usually 20–30 seconds.
