The Dark as Night cocktail, created at The Dewberry Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina, is a rich, smooth nightcap that blends cognac with Cocchi Barolo Chinato (aromatised wine) and walnut liqueur (Nocino). The drink is normally finished with a touch of simple syrup and served in a snifter over ice, garnished with an orange peel for added aroma and complexity. This cocktail is a luxurious choice, perfect for those who enjoy a balanced mix of herbal, nutty, and slightly sweet flavours, making it an ideal drink for winding down in the evening.
