Cognac Sour

A simple, yet sophisticated twist on the classic whiskey sour, the Cognac Sour features the smooth, rich flavors of cognac with the perfect balance of citrus and sweetness. It's an easy-to-make, refreshing cocktail that's perfect for those who enjoy a bit of elegance in their drinks.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz cognac

  • 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 oz simple syrup (or to taste)

  • Ice

  • Lemon twist or cherry (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Shake the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, add the cognac, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.

  2. Strain into Glass: Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice. If you prefer a smoother drink, you can serve it "up" in a coupe glass, without ice.

  3. Garnish: Garnish with a lemon twist or a maraschino cherry for a touch of color and citrus aroma.

  4. Serve and Enjoy: Sip and enjoy the balanced sweetness and tartness of this easy yet refined cocktail.

The Cognac Sour is an excellent way to enjoy the depth and complexity of cognac in a refreshing, easy-to-make cocktail. Cheers!
