Cocktail

2 oz Hennessy VS cognac1/2 oz Cointreau (or other orange liqueur)1/4 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice2 dashes Angostura bitters8 cubes Ice (for shaking)1 piece Large ice cube (for serving)1 piece Orange twist (garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare and chill

Place a rocks glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Hennessy VS, 0.5 oz Cointreau, 0.25 oz simple syrup, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

Shake

Add about 6–8 ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the ingredients are well integrated and slightly diluted.

Prepare glass

Remove the rocks glass from the freezer or drain the ice water. Place one large clear ice cube into the chilled glass.

Strain and serve

Double-strain the cocktail from the shaker over the large ice cube using a Hawthorne or fine-mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any pulp.

Garnish

Express the oils of an orange twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down over the glass and giving it a firm squeeze, then rub the rim of the glass with the twist and drop it onto the cocktail.

Enjoy

Serve immediately as an after-dinner sipper. Sip slowly to appreciate the cognac's warmth and the bright orange and citrus notes.
