Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Chill glass

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

  2. 2

    Combine ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Hennessy V.S.O.P, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add ice and shake

    Add about 6 ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.

  4. 4

    Prepare glass

    Discard any ice or water from the chilled rocks glass. Add a large ice cube (or a few fresh cubes) to the glass.

  5. 5

    Strain

    Using a Hawthorne strainer or the shaker lid, double-strain the cocktail into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube.

Garnish & Finish

  1. 6

    Express lemon oils

    Take a lemon twist and squeeze it over the drink to express its oils, then rub the twist around the rim of the glass.

  2. 7

    Drop the lemon twist into the drink (or balance it on the rim) and serve immediately.
