Koh Yung Shen, founder of the Penang-based bar Backdoor Bodega concocted the botanical cocktail fondly called Biggie Small, which paired the cognac with French vermouth, Italian cherry and orange herbal amer.

The Grapa da Vine cocktail saw the cognac fused with sous vide pineapple, grappa, bitters and trigona honey, a creation by Julian Benjamin Brigget, assistant bar manager at Bar Trigona. Last but not least, general manager of Junglebird Anand Pirinyuang’s creative take on the classic cognac punch was the Punching An Accord, made with house-made orange and lemon sherbet, Pedro Ximenez sherry and red wine reduction.

Alongside the cocktails, guests were able to sample culinary creations that incorporated the cognac from pastry chef Xiao-ly Koh, founder of Xiao by Crustz, as well as Raymond Tham, co-owner of Beta KL.

Koh presented an indulgent Rémy Mont Blanc, the perfect balance between chocolate orange cognac and chestnut vanilla cognac. Tham showcased a Smoked Tongkol Fish Rilette made with the cognac, served with a warm French butter croissant. With oaky notes of vanilla and brioche, the cognac was ideal for the impressive cocktails and food served at the event.
