Also, instead of sugar and coffee, you can use black or red caviar, or use chocolate chips instead of coffee. Sour, sweet and bitter appetizers are consumed, as a rule, with strong drinks. Accompanying drinks are cognac, whiskey, rum, vodka … However, lemon has a very sharp taste that clogs the exquisite range of good cognacs.
