1
Chill glass
Place a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink to chill.
2
Combine ingredients
In a mixing glass add the cognac (1.5 oz), Bénédictine (3 tsp) and 1 dash Angostura bitters.
3
Add ice and stir
Add enough ice to the mixing glass (about 1/2 cup or enough to nearly fill the glass). Stir gently and continuously for about 20–30 seconds (roughly 10–15 full strokes) until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.
4
Prepare glass
Remove the chilled glass from the freezer or dump the ice water and dry the glass.
5
Strain
Using a julep or Hawthorne strainer, strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.

6
Express the oils of a lemon (or orange) twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down above the glass and giving it a quick snap, then rub the rim with the twist and drop it into the cocktail as a garnish.
7
Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the balance of the brandy and herbal Bénédictine.
