Method

Cocktail

1

Chill and prepare

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

2

Combine ingredients

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

3

Add ice and shake

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

4

Prepare glass

Remove the chilled rocks glass from the freezer or discard the chilling ice. Add one large ice cube or fresh ice to the glass.

5

Strain

Double-strain the shaken mixture into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube to keep the drink clear and free of small ice shards.

Garnish & Serve

6

Express the oils of a lemon twist over the surface of the cocktail by holding the twist skin-side down about 2–3 inches above the drink and giving it a quick squeeze. Rub the peel around the glass rim and drop the twist into the drink.

7

Optionally add a light orange peel or a cocktail cherry for additional aroma. Serve immediately.
