Main Spirit Cognac

Difficulty Easy

Discovering forgotten cocktails sometimes requires a little tweaking, but with the 100-year-old I.B.F. Pick-Me-Up, only a slight bump up in the quantity of Cointreau was needed when Seattle bartender Zac Overman mixed it up with the addition of Cognac Fernet and Champagne.
