Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 ounces brandy or cognac
  • 1 ounce orange liqueur e.g. Cointreau or Grand Marnier
  • 3/4 ounce lemon juice fresh
  • sugar optional, for rimming the glass
  • lemon optional, twist for garnish

Instructions

  1. If you like a sugared rim, run a lemon slice along the edge of a cocktail glass and dip it into sugar. Put the glass in the fridge to chill.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the brandy or cognac, orange liqueur, and fresh lemon juice. Fill the shaker halfway with ice.
  3. Shake the mixture vigorously until it's chilled, about 20 seconds.
  4. Strain the mixture into your prepared cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

  • Invest in a good quality brandy or cognac, and a reputable orange liqueur like Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
  • Make sure you use fresh lemon juice.
  • Ensure that only the outer part of the glass is coated if going for a sugared rim.
