Method
Prepare
Measure and juice
Measure 1.5 oz cognac, 0.75 oz Grand Marnier and 0.25 oz fresh orange juice. If you like a slightly sweeter finish, measure 0.25 tsp simple syrup.
Mix
Combine ingredients
Add the cognac, Grand Marnier, orange juice and simple syrup (if using) into a cocktail shaker.
Add ice
Fill the shaker with about 4 medium ice cubes to properly chill and dilute the cocktail.
Shake
Put the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted. This both chills and gives a silkier texture.
Serve
Strain
Discard the ice or water from your chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to catch any small ice shards or pulp.
Garnish and finish
Express the oils of an orange twist over the surface of the drink by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a firm squeeze, then rub the rim of the glass with the peel and drop it in (or perch it on the rim). Optionally add a dehydrated orange wheel for an elegant look.
Serve immediately as an after-dinner sipper. Enjoy slowly to appreciate the orange-cognac complexity.
