Add Cognac to My Bar when it is already on your shelf, or send it to the shopping list when a recipe needs it. That keeps the mixer focused on drinks you can make now and recipes that are only one bottle or garnish away.
For substitutions or buying decisions, compare it with other Spirits options such as Absinthe, Aged Rum, Bourbon, and Brandy. Similar ingredients are useful when you want the same broad function but a different aroma, sweetness, strength, or finish.
