We are entertaining lots of French friends and would like to serve Cognac Schweppes. Does anyone have the recipe/proportions of cognac to tonic to make it taste as good as when our local friends have made it?

Tea charantaise was the first drink we had with oysters. It made the oysters easier to stomach and now I love oysters on their own.

One of cognac to two of agrum plus ice works for me. French people also tend to drink a lot of whiskey so make sure you have plenty.

Thanks BeeGee
Agrum? Citrus. Do you mean bitter lemon?

True BeeGee but they prefer the " Scotch" version called Whisky

Agrum is bitter lemon, and I never could get that spelling right but I know what I like!

Thanks again. We'll go with the bitter lemon. Someone told us it was cognac and tonic, but thought that didn't sound right.
