1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by chilling a cocktail glass or an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice water. Set aside while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of Hennessy Very Special Cognac, 0.5 oz of fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
3
Shake the Mixture
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the cocktail shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Remove the ice water from the chilled glass. Using a cocktail strainer, strain the mixture into the glass, ensuring a smooth pour.
5
Garnish
Garnish your cocktail with a twist of lemon peel. To do this, twist the peel over the drink to release its oils, then place it on the rim of the glass.
