Ingredients

  • 2 ounces VSOP Cognac, Armagnac, or good California brandy
  • 1 ounce Cointreau
  • 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare cocktail glass by making a slit in a lemon wedge and running the cut edge around the rim of the glass; then dip the rim in a saucer of superfine sugar to create a thin crust. Chill the glass until needed.
  2. Combine brandy, Cointreau, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake well until chilled, about 10 seconds. Strain into prepared glass; garnish with a twist of orange or lemon peel, if the urge comes across.
