Method
Cocktail
Combine ingredients
Add cognac, dry vermouth, apricot liqueur, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.
Add ice
Fill the shaker with enough ice to come about three-quarters of the way up the shaker (large cubes or crushed ice both work; large cubes chill more slowly and dilute less).
Shake
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the outside has condensation, indicating proper chilling and slight dilution.
Double strain
Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to catch small ice shards and citrus pulp for a silky texture.
Garnish & Finish
Garnish
Drop the lemon twist into the cocktail or perch it on the rim. Optionally add a maraschino cherry on a pick for a slightly sweeter finish and classic presentation.
Serve immediately while cold. Advise drinker that this is a spirit-forward, slightly fruity, aromatic cocktail balancing cognac warmth with apricot sweetness and a bright lemon lift.
