Nicholas II, by tradition, was eating lemon cognac. However, citrus has a pronounced taste that outshines the taste of an elite drink. Gourmets insist that you need to drink real cognac without a snack to fully enjoy its taste and aroma. There is always a middle ground: to have a meal with a dish that not only does not interrupt, but also emphasizes the taste.

Make a banana snack. Wrap the fruit in foil and cook in the oven (preheat to 180 degrees) 15-20 minutes. After cooking, cut the banana along and pour a little cognac. After the fruit has cooled, put it on a plate in the form of a fan.

The cheese plate will emphasize the taste of the drink. Cook three types of cheese: cheddar, roquefort and camembert. You can use other types, but this combination is the most successful. Thinly cut and put on a plate. Take one lemon and put on the cheese, previously sliced. Lightly need to salt the appetizer.

Another appetizer. Take a piece of cheese, dip in warmed honey, sprinkle nuts on top. This combination gives the dish an unusual and refined taste.

Take note of the banana and bacon recipe. Cut the banana lengthwise, fold walnuts and cinnamon into half. Wrap bacon and grill for about 20 minutes.

Caramelized lemon goes well with cognac. Cut the citrus into slices, remove the seeds and cook for an hour in syrup (from water and sugar). Dry the finished lemon in the oven (preheated to 150 degrees) for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Similarly, you can cook an orange.
