Cognac base

Citrus & Liqueur

Sweetener (optional)

Method

Glass & Rim Preparation

  1. 1

    Rim the glass (optional)

    Moisten the rim of a chilled coupe with a lemon wedge and dip into fine sugar to create a light rim.

  2. 2

    Chill the glass

    Place the coupe in the freezer for a few minutes or fill with ice water, then discard before pouring.

Cocktail Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine base spirits

    In a shaker, add 60 ml Hennessy VSOP and 30 ml Cointreau.

  2. 4

    Add citrus

    Add 30 ml fresh lemon juice.

  3. 5

    Add optional sweetener

    If you prefer a sweeter balance, add 10 ml simple syrup. If not, skip this step.

  4. 6

    Add ice

    Fill the shaker with ice to chill thoroughly.

  5. 7

    Shake

    Shake vigorously for 12-15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold.

Finish & Serve

  1. 8

    Strain

    Strain the cocktail into the prepared chilled coupe to avoid ice shards.

  2. 9

    Garnish

    Express the oils of an orange twist over the surface and drop it in as a garnish (or use a lemon twist if preferred).
