One that's pretty popular when I mix at parties is the Hoop La (has other historical names with the same exact recipe). It's equal parts (3/4 oz) cognac, Lillet blanc, lemon juice, and Cointreau. My most recent cognac cocktail favorite is the Saratoga Cocktail (1 oz each of cognac, rye, and sweet Vermouth, plus 2 dashes Angostura bitters) which is pretty much a stripped down and less complex Vieux Carre.

There's another cognac cocktail that I'm blanking on that I think would work. Work, brain, damn you, work! Stupid Long Island Iced Tea...
