Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz cognac
  • 1 oz orange liqueur like Cointreau®
  • ½ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ oz freshly squeezed lime juice for a citrus twist
  • 1 tsp white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 dash of aromatic bitters optional, for depth of flavor

Instructions
 

  • Ensure you have everything you need laid out before you start mixing. Make it easy on yourself - less clutter means smoother sailing.
  • Grab a cocktail shaker. Fill it with ice cubes, then add the cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice, lime juice, and sugar. Want to show off? Use a jigger for precise measuring.
  • Close the shaker tightly. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. You want to combine the ingredients well and chill them.
  • While you’re shaking, grab a chilled glass. You could opt for a classic coupe or a modern rocks glass—your choice!
  • Open your cocktail shaker, use a strainer, and pour the mixture into the prepared glass. Think about the presentation! You can garnish it with a lemon twist for that extra bit of flair.

Notes

  • Quality Matters: Invest in a good quality cognac. It makes a difference. You’ll taste it in every sip.
  • Fresh Citrus: Use fresh juices instead of bottled. The flavors will be unparalleled!
  • Chill Your Glass: A chilled glass keeps your cocktail cold longer. No one likes a lukewarm drink!
  • Adjust to Your Taste: Don’t be afraid to experiment. Adjust the sweetness or citrus levels until it's perfect for you.
  • Bitters Are Your Friend: If you feel adventurous, add bitters. Start with a dash and increase if the flavor seems too subtle.
