ever drank hennessy cognac? Why do so many rappers talk about it?

[squirrel dog]

I thought most rappers drank their fouties while driving around avoiding working at a real job .

You forget Gordons Dry Gin...i'd rate that just behind Bombay Sapphire myself...above Beefeaters for sure

Indeed I did forget gordons. My goal wasn't to name every gin, it was just to put Tanqueray and Seagrams in their place ... away from the top

Hennessy rocks, but it's way too strong. Incredible Hulk is the shiznit though

I was wondering about that. Hadn't heard of it till those STUPID commercials with that annoying black guy with a british accent started :roll: Lemme guess where those commercials are marketed towards....

Hennessy is one of my favorite drinks. Mix it with OJ, or Apple Juice, you'll see why it's popular. I also have had Hennessy Privilege, it's even smoother.

Hennessey and chocolate chip cookies? Damn what you use in yo' Kool Aid?

Please post cookie recipe with hennessey in it. I never heard of that one.

just sub vanilla extract for a liquor, rum, bourbon, cognac, anythign thats 30-40% alcohol. i had a recipe that called for dark rum and all i had was some hennessy, so i figured why not?

youre only using a teaspoon or two, so its not strong, but its different, and tasty

I'm not a huge gin drinker, so I haven't tried Beefeaters, but definately will now. Try Van Gogh if you haven't. Occaisonally I'll get the Seagrams lime flavored gin if I don't feel like going to buy & messing with limes.


Oh, Cognac = [insert puke emoticon here]

I :heart: good cognac. VSOP or XO only please.

Sooo smooth and sooo good.

And you guys mixing it or putting it on ice... shame on you!

 

[Stretchman]

I've heard its a strong drink though.

Yes, fine cognac should never be mixed or watered down. If anything, just have it warmed up a bit. If you're going to mix it with kool aid or whatever, just buy some brandy.

Good Cognac is comparible to good Single Malt Scotches. They are meant to be drank straight (sipped, not slammed). It's a waste of money if you're mixing it with anything, unless it's the cheap stuff.

80 Proof, typical hard liquor alcohol level.

 

[alien42]

No such thing as cheap cognac. The cheapest bottle flirts with the $30 mark.

Try naVan.

It's cognac with black vanilla from Madagascar (second most expensive spice in the world).

It's Hennessey, but sweet.
Stuff absolutely Rocks !
I always have some on hand

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Cognac is great in a sidecar. Nice with a cigar, too. Rappers like it because it is expensive.

[Remy XO]

to all you guys saying expensive drinks are nasty and worthless. I want you guys to tryo drinking fine alcohol for a few weeks then going back to cheap party alcohol drinks. I will guarantee you that you will throw up and see where the quality is in fine liquor. The only reason why rappers like it is because they can finally afford it and they are around it all the time. Ofcourse theyre gonna rap about it because they finally relized how good fine liquor is.

Remy X.O. ftw

i have a bottle of beefeater at home, it is half decent.

I splurged and bought abottle of absente after watching that movie. It is decent too!

 

[neovan]

I had that stuff at my wedding. 39 tables=39 bottles. I threw up after my wedding.
