    The Krakoff Legacy

    Aged cognac, walnut liqueur, honey, Angostura & orange peel — served in a crystal coupe

    Honoring the Robert K. Krakoff Award for leadership excellence

    The Story

    The Robert K. Krakoff Award represents the pinnacle of exhibition industry leadership. This cognac-based cocktail — deep, complex, and deliberately unhurried — is designed for the moment after the award is given, when the room rises and the honoree's career flashes through every handshake they've ever made. Walnut liqueur adds depth, honey smooths the edges, and the crystal coupe says: this is not casual.
