For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a fresh mint sprig. Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar. If crushed ice is unavailable, wrap ice cubes in a clean kitchen towel and gently crush them with a mallet or rolling pin. Alternatively, vigorously shake ice cubes in a cocktail shaker until they crack into smaller pieces. Choose a high-quality cognac and a dry sparkling wine (such as Brut or Extra Brut) for the best flavor profile.
