Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cocktail Shaker

    Take a cocktail shaker and fill it halfway with ice. This will chill the drink while mixing.

  2. 2

    Measure and Add Ingredients

    Pour 1 oz of Courvoisier VS Cognac, 0.5 oz of Cointreau Orange Liqueur, 0.75 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tsp of sugar into the shaker.

  3. 3

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and the sugar dissolves.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Using a strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass to serve it up.

  5. 5

    Garnish (Optional)

    If desired, garnish with a twist of lemon peel or a small lemon wheel on the rim of the glass.
