Description:  There’s an ongoing myth that rap music made Cognac popular in the black community when in fact the African-American community has had a lover affair with the spirit for decades. In this happy hour presentation, Yolanda Shoshana, will discuss how Cognac has become a beloved spirit in the community, food pairings, and how to make an Old-Fashioned with Cognac.

Drink with Yolanda:  Come with a glass of your favorite Cognac ( or whatever brandy makes you happy). If you want to make the cocktail you will need : 50 ml VSOP Cognac, 15 ml sugar, 3 dashes Angostura Bitters and Zest of 1 orange to garnish.

About Your Host:  Yolanda Shoshana, known as the “Brandy Bruja”, fell in love with Cognac (the king of brandy) when she was invited on a press trip to the quaint city in France.  Brandy is her favorite spirit due to it’s versatility to be sipped neat, paired with food, or in a cocktail. Her goal is to bring back the elegance and magick of brandy.

This event will be held virtually via Zoom.

The link will be sent to attendees within 24 hours of the event.
