- Biggish oz of Courvoisier (or whatever cognac you like). By "biggish" I mean about 1.2
- 1 oz exactly of Cointreau
- 1/2 to 3/4 oz of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters.
I shake over ice and pour into a glass that's been rimmed with sugar. Garnish with slice of lemon peel or a lemon twist if you're less lazy.
