Answers: Should it be mixed with something? (Juice, soft drink, red bull)
With or without ice?

Any other tips?

I prefer my cognac neat, in a snifter, warmed a bit, either by hand or floating the snifter in a bowl of warm water for a minute. If it's a good cognac, it will be nice by itself - it's made to be sipped and enjoyed. It needs to breathe a little first, so if you drink it straight, let it sit a bit after you pour it.
Otherwise, it's nice with a splash of tonic water or in a mixed drink - I love sidecars made with cognac...

Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Sugar
1 cup Cognac
1/2 cup Triple Sec or Cointreau
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Maraschino cherries or lemon peel, to garnish

Combine the Cognac, Triple Sec, and lemon juice in a pitcher. Pour some into a cocktail shaker with ice, shake well and pour into the glasses. Garnish with a cherry or lemon peel.

It depends on your preference. If you're a seasoned drinker, try drinking it on the rocks (with ice). Otherwise, you can mix it with soft drinks.

If it's good stuff then in a snifter held with two hands to warm it up otherwise orange juice, ice and fresh some mint....

In a snifter, neat. The shape of the snifter helps hold the vapors in, which allows you to inhale them through your nose before you sip. A large amount of the sensation of taste comes from your sense of smell, so it adds greatly to the experience. If you do not like it at room temperature, add just a few ice cubes, but don't go overboard.

a good cognac is best enjoyed in a snifter, at room temperature, no ice. you can also try a french connection #1 (courvoisier & amaretto), or a french connection #2 (courvoisier & grand marnier), or brandy alexander (cognac or brandy blended with dark creme de cacao, vanilla ice cream, nutmeg).
