If you enjoy bold, colorful cocktails, the Incredible Hulk is a perfect choice. Named for its vivid green hue, this cocktail blends cognac with a fruity liqueur and a touch of bitters for depth. It works well for Marvel-themed gatherings, game nights, movie parties, and Halloween celebrations. Serve it over ice and finish with a lime wedge to lift the flavors and accent the color.

Ingredient notes and shopping tips

Cognac: A French brandy distilled from grapes. Cognac brings warmth and richness to this drink; popular choices include Hennessy. Expect smooth notes of vanilla, dried fruit, and light oak. Typical bottlings are 80 proof (40% ABV).
Hpnotiq: A fruit-forward, blue-colored liqueur made with vodka, fruit juices, and cognac. It contributes tropical, mango-like sweetness and a vivid color that turns green when mixed with cognac.
Bitters: Concentrated infusions of herbs, roots, bark, and spices used in small amounts to balance sweetness and round out the flavor. Orange bitters work particularly well here, adding citrus and spice notes that complement the cognac and the liqueur.

For best results, use chilled ingredients or add plenty of ice so the drink stays cold without diluting too quickly. If you prefer a slightly lighter cocktail, reduce the cognac by a quarter ounce, or add a splash of soda water for a fizzy variation. Garnish with a lime wedge or a twist of lime peel to highlight the citrus notes from the bitters.
