Brandy Crusta
The Brandy Crusta is a classic cocktail boasting a sweet tart flavor with fresh lemon and sophisticated brandy! Garnished with a dazzling sugar crust, it’s easy to make and elegant to sip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces brandy or Cognac
- 1/4 ounce Cointreau or triple sec
- 1/4 ounce Maraschino liqueur
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- Superfine sugar, for the rim
- Lemon peel, for garnish
Instructions
- Use a lemon wedge to moisten the top 2 inches of a stemmed cocktail glass. Place superfine sugar on a plate, then roll the edge of the glass in sugar.
- Use a vegetable peeler to make a long wide peel of the lemon, as long as possible. Place it into the glass so that it curls around inside the glass but part extends above the glass.
- Place the Cognac, Cointreau or triple sec, Maraschino liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters in a cocktail shaker. Add 1 handful of ice and shake until cold.
- Strain the drink into the prepared glass and serve.
