Ingredients
- Cognac4 cl
- Ginger Beer100 ml
- Angostura Bitters3 drops
- Lemon peel1
Instructions
Wash and brush an organic, untreated lemon, then cut a spiral of lemon peel, using a citrus peel. If it is too large, cut it with a sharp knife. Put some ice in a tall tumbler glass, place the lemon peel inside and pour the cognac, add the ginger beer and let 2-3 drops of Angostura fall into it. Easy to do, but once you try it you'll love it.
Expert Tips
Glassware Tip
Fill your highball glass with ice before adding ingredients. The tall, narrow shape is designed to keep carbonated mixers fizzy and refreshing throughout the drink.
Fresh Citrus Tip
Always squeeze fresh citrus juice rather than using bottled. Roll the fruit on the counter before cutting to release more juice, and strain out seeds and pulp for a smoother drink.
Bitters Tip
Bitters are like salt in cooking - a few dashes balance and enhance other flavors. Experiment with different bitters varieties to create unique flavor profiles.
Gin's distinctive flavor comes from juniper berries, though modern gins feature a wide variety of botanicals from around the world.
