French Manhattan

Variations on classic cocktails sometimes really hit the right spots and in time, become classics themselves. Starting from the Manhattan, you have well known variations like the Dry Manhattan, the Rob Roy (or Scotch Manhattan) and the Reverse Manhattan. But have you already tasted the French Manhattan? 

You can make one by just adding orange liqueur, but I wanted to go for the real French touch with cognac instead of rye whiskey.
