2 oz Courvoisier VSOP cognac1/2 oz Orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau or Grand Marnier)1/4 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)1/4 oz Fresh lemon juice2 dashes Angostura bitters

1 piece Large ice cube1 piece Orange twist

Method

Cocktail

Chill glass

Place an old-fashioned glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure the glass is nicely chilled.

Add the Courvoisier VSOP, orange liqueur, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and Angostura bitters into a mixing glass or cocktail shaker filled with plenty of ice.

Stir (preferred for spirit-forward cocktails) for about 20–30 seconds until well chilled and properly diluted. If you prefer a slightly brighter, more aerated profile, briefly shake for 8–10 seconds instead.

Discard the ice or water from the chilled old-fashioned glass. Place a large ice cube in the glass.

Strain the mixed cocktail over the large ice cube into the chilled glass using a julep strainer or Hawthorne strainer to catch any ice shards.

Garnish & serve

Express the oils from an orange twist by holding it skin-side down over the cocktail and giving it a sharp squeeze so the essential oils spray onto the surface of the drink.

Run the twist around the rim of the glass for extra aroma, then drop the twist into the drink as a garnish.

Serve immediately as an after-dinner sipper. Recommend pairing with dark chocolate or a plate of dried fruit and nuts.
