Success Tips
- You don’t have any fresh strawberries? No problem! You can easily replace them with frozen strawberries or syrup-flavored strawberries. The key is to keep your cocktail’s delicious strawberry flavor.
- If a mortar isn’t your favorite tool, feel free to use a blender to crush the strawberries. It’s all about having that perfect consistency.
- For a smoother cocktail, you could strain the mixture after shaking. This will get rid of any remaining strawberry seeds or pulp, giving you a cleaner drink.
- If you want a stronger drink, you can adjust the amount of Hennessy to your liking. Just remember that balance is the key to a great-tasting drink.
- If you like your cocktails less sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar or strawberry syrup used.
- Always taste your cocktail before you serve it. This lets you make any last-minute changes to make sure it’s just right.
- Chill your serving glasses before you start. This will keep your cocktail cooler for longer, making it more refreshing.
- Don’t forget to add the garnish! Even though it might seem like a small thing, a good garnish can make your cocktail look better and taste better overall.

What type of alcohol is Hennessy?
Let’s get one thing straight before we go any further. Hennessy is a sort of liquor known as Cognac. Hennessy is categorically not a whiskey, contrary to popular assumption. Grapes, not barley or wheat, are used to make Hennessy Cognac.
Both are distilled and fermented in wooden barrels, but that’s where the similarities end. By that logic, anyone who claims it’s ‘essentially whiskey’ (which we believe they do) might just as easily claim it’s ‘basically wine’ (which would be closer to the reality).
Is Hennessy strong?
Yes, it is a very strong alcoholic spirit. Hennessy’s ABV content is 40%.
What does Hennessy taste like?
It all depends on which Hennessy type you choose. Hennessy VS tastes like vanilla and oak. It has a soft texture. The Hennessy VSOP has a grapelike flavor. It is dark in color with a good amount of oak. The HennessyXO is a sweet, spicy toffee-like flavor that has a light texture.
Which Hennessy is best?

How does Strawberry Hennessy margarita taste?
A Strawberry Hennessy Margarita is precisely what you need. It tastes both sweet and tart due to the presence of strawberries.
