I tried this with vodka and it blew up
BigClivedotCom has probably tried.
I like to blow bubbles with my swirly straw when i have cognac
Well alrite, thx 4 clearin' that up xD
No. The cognac region makes wine and certainly a handful are sparkling. But if weβre talking about cognac, the formal name for French brandy, no. That would violate laws protecting the name βcognacβ. There are very specific restrictions on most of these big international names and you have to follow very specific manufacturing practices.
I don't think he's done Cognac, but Big Clive at bigclivedotcom on YouTube has a series called "will it carbonate", where he uses a soda stream to try and carbonate all sorts of adult beverages. At least a bit interesting even in the ones where he's not giving much feedback.

He's definitely worth it if you're into electronics and silly little gadgets, which is his much more common topic. He seems to be a chill sparky.
I don't think that exists since Cognac is barrel aged, and it would lose any carbonation from fermenting when it is aging. You can mix it with sparkling water if you really want a "bubbly Cognac" or, if you are into home brewing, you can try to rebottle Cognac with some priming sugar or carbonating drops
You'd have to force carbonate with CO2. 40% ABV is way too high for fermentation.
Just order a Henney and Sprite like everyone else.
Nah No Sprite, lime and that German mineral water
