Not really, it has been done before, but i can make it at home a lot cheaper than i can buy it.
Without sounding too "street" as Idesign and El Prez would say, I have always been a fan of Alize. They blend passion fruit juice with their cognac and it is like nectar from the gods! But it is waaaaay overpriced.
So go to your local Harry Peeter or whatever grocery store you have and purchase a bottle of passion fruit juice (specialty section) and mix with your fave cognac. Sprizzy likes the Hennessey (again w/o sounding too street). The great thing about the juice is it allows you to mix the cognac at a 1:1 ratio if you want. It's so smooth and very good.
Try it! You shall not not be disappointed (unless you are deathly allergic to passion fruit juice and if so i will send a lovely letter to your bereaved loved ones).
And if someone asks what you are drinking reply that you are drinking a
if the Gods wanted to mix they would have made it mixed, give me a fine old single malt in a snifter, no ice, just the whisky, , a cup of strong coffee on the side~black & NO sugar , & a fine cigar , Heaven !!! Enjoy, Vince

Don't get me wrong. I love cognac straight, too. This is just a nice change of pace for the summer.
Yo Sprizz... I feel ya. You and Prez be skreet. Id and me, yo... we juss be frun'in.
No, I'm not a 41 year old basketcase, I just have a 13 year old son and I have to try and be down wit it... you see what I'm sayin'?
I was into Hpnotiq for a while too. Now I'm channeling my grandfather and enjoying some B&B. Finding the right accompanying liquor for a cigar is almost as fun as finding the right cigar!

My summer drink is a Mint Julep. Nothing like a Mint Julep at the race track in Saratoga while smoking a good cigar.

When i first turned 19 i tryed to make my own alize cause here in canada its 30$ a botttle. I never had alize befor but being a guy i figured i could probably make it, and probaly make it better than the original. So i spent 20 on a half bottle of st. remy cognac and picked up some passionfruit juice from the grocery store. man i mixed that stuff together and it tasted so awful. Of course i choked it all down in the name of getting drunk. I guess thats what you get for being cheep!
J sprizzle i got a drink i made up when i was younger, it sounds totaly gross but its actualy quite tasty. mix 1oz jagermister with a rocks glass of ruby red grapefruit juice. my girlfriend likes it with a drop of grenadine. definitly not a cigar friendly drink though.
