Name: Nuitcap
Ingredients: Ice; 1 ounce Cognac; 1 ounce blanc vermouth; 1/2 ounce Salers, génépy or Suze; 1/4 ounce orange liqueur, such as Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao, Cointreau or triple sec; 1 ounce soda water, to top; 1 orange wedge or lemon peel, to garnish

A modern and decidedly French-slanted nightcap, the Nuitcap combines Cognac, blanc vermouth and a drinker’s choice of bitter, herbal liqueur: Salers, génépy or Suze. Salers makes for a drier cocktail, while génépy leans sweeter and more herbal. Suze shifts the drink toward the more bitter — and bright yellow — side. A final splash of soda water is kept to a modest 1 ounce, diluting the drink, but not so much that it moves into spritz territory.
