Finishing

2 oz Soda water (club soda or sparkling water)1 each Lemon twist (garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Build and chill

Add 1.5 oz Depot Amer, 1.5 oz Korbel XS Brandy, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional) into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

Shake

Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted on the outside.

Strain

Double-strain (using a Hawthorne and fine mesh if available) into a rocks glass or Collins glass filled with fresh ice (about 1 cup).

Finishing

Top the drink with 2 oz of soda water to give it lift and effervescence. Stir gently once with a bar spoon to combine—do not over-stir to preserve carbonation.

Express the oils from one lemon twist over the surface of the drink by holding the twist over the glass and pinching it so the oils spray onto the cocktail. Rub the twist around the rim and drop it in as garnish.

Serve immediately.
