Ingredients
3
oz
brandy
or cognac
1 1/2
oz
triple sec
1 1/2
oz
lemon juice
orange twist
optional garnish
sanding sugar
optional garnish
Instructions
If sugaring your glass, place the sanding sugar in a shallow dish wide enough for the top of the glass, and then wet the rims of your glasses.
Dip the glasses in the sanding sugar and set aside as you assemble your ingredients.
Peel the orange rind in a thick ribbon using your vegetable peeler. Twist gently and set aside.
Measure out 2 oz of cognac or brandy into each glass, followed by 3/4 oz of triple sec and 3/4 oz of lemon juice.
Garnish with your orange wedge and enjoy!
Notes
If you're not sure about the brandy or cognac, you can use bourbon, and the triple sec can be swapped out for an orange curaçao.
