Ingredients
Preparation
First, cut the lemon (1) and squeeze out the fresh juice so your cocktail gets a radiant aroma.
For the pretty sugar rim, rub the edge of a cocktail glass with a lemon wedge and dip it into the sugar (1 tsp).
Now add the Cognac (50 ml), the Cointreau (20 ml), and the fresh lemon juice (1) along with the ice cubes (5) into a shaker.
Shake the shaker vigorously for about 15 seconds – that's my secret for perfect cooling and ideal consistency.
Pour the drink through a strainer into your prepared glass and enjoy your homemade classic immediately.
