Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Cognac
- 1 oz Cointreau (orange liqueur)
- 1.5 oz Cranberry Juice
- 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 1 cup Ice
- 1 piece Orange Peel (for garnish)
Instructions
Chill a martini or coupe glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice for a few minutes.
In a cocktail shaker, combine cognac, Cointreau, cranberry juice, and lime juice.
Add the cup of ice to the shaker and securely close the lid.
Shake the mixture vigorously for 15-20 seconds to blend and chill the ingredients.
Remove the ice from the chilled glass if present, or take the glass out of the freezer.
Strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled glass using a fine-mesh strainer or the shaker's built-in strainer.
Garnish the drink with an orange peel by twisting it over the glass to release its oils, then dropping it into the drink or placing it on the rim.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
