SUPERB ENGLISH PLUM PUDDING
This pudding is really best when made a year in advance and allowed to mellow. It was customary to make it early in Advent - the religious season before Christmas - and use it the following year. Everyone in the family was supposed to stir the pudding once for good luck. If you can't make it the year before, at least give it a few weeks to age.

16 IMPRESSIVE COGNAC COCKTAIL RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
- Sidecar. Cognac's most famous cocktail is the sidecar. The recipe is over a century old, and the sour drink is one that every cocktail connoisseur should familiarize themselves with.
- Vieux Carré. Paired with rye whiskey and sweet vermouth, cognac comes to life in the Vieux Carré. You'll also need Bénédictine and two styles of bitters to pull off this classic New Orleans recipe.
- French 75. While you could mix up a French 75 with gin, it's equally impressive when you pour cognac instead. The brandy is one of the original options for this lively Champagne cocktail and produces the ultimate French drink.
- Japanese Cocktail. The Japanese cocktail is not what you might expect from the name. The recipe pairs cognac with the almond flavor of orgeat syrup and tosses a little lime into the mix to create the perfect balance of sweet and sour.
- Morning Glory. If you enjoy the Vieux Carré, you'll want to taste the morning glory. This classic also pairs cognac with rye whiskey, but instead of vermouth, the recipe uses orange curaçao and simple syrup.
- Champagne Bowler. Whatever you're celebrating, the Champagne bowler is a great cocktail to invite to the party. It features fresh strawberries with cognac, plus white and sparkling wines.
- French Connection. You'll need just two ingredients for this aromatic sipper. The French connection is an uncomplicated mix of cognac accented with amaretto.
- The Beautiful Cocktail. A fitting name, this truly is a beautiful cocktail. Yet, it's also one of the easiest drinks you can make, with nothing more than equal parts cognac and Grand Marnier.
- Dulce de Tequila. An unlikely duo, you'll love how well cognac and tequila get along. The dulce de tequila is a classically styled sour that brings the two spirits together in a wonderful way.
- Jack-O-Lantern. Hidden under the pumpkin top lies a fruity cognac cocktail. The jack-o-lantern is as simple as it is fun, mixing the brandy with orange juice and topping it with ginger ale.
