Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Hennessy, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes of orange bitters.

Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 4–6 medium cubes). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is nicely diluted.

Strain
Discard ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or rocks glass using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer (or a single fine strainer) to remove ice shards and any pulp.

Garnish and serve
Express the orange peel over the drink by holding it skin-side down about 2–3 inches above the glass and giving it a firm squeeze to release the oils. Rub the peel around the rim and either drop it into the drink or rest it on the rim. Serve immediately.
