Coffee with Cognac

The addition of Cognac lends a completely new spectrum of flavors to coffee. In my opinion, this is about the only way to drink Cognac other than serving it neat. The only other way might be with some Triple Sec. I think mixing Cognac with ginger ale or anything else is an obscenity akin to putting ketchup on a hotdog. This coffee recipe can also be made with Armagnac, Calvados, or brandy.
