Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 240 ml Cognac - Any good brandy will do this drink very nicely
- 720 ml Ginger ale
- 6 dashes Angostura bitters - Optional, traditional, and very much worth it
- 6 twists Lemon twist - Cut it as long as you can manage - it should spiral down the whole glass
Pitcher (6 drinks) - about 960 ml of measured ingredients, before ice and dilution.
Timings and per-glass steps are written for one drink and are not scaled. A full jug takes longer to chill, so stir or shake until it is properly cold rather than by the clock, and pour over fresh ice one glass at a time.
Quick version
- Peel a long strip of lemon into the glass, then brandy, ginger ale and a dash of bitters.
Method
- Pare a long strip of lemon peel in one piece, if you can, and drop it into a highball glass so it coils around the inside.
- Fill the glass with ice, keeping the peel against the glass.
- Pour in the cognac.
- Top with ginger ale and add a dash of bitters on the surface.
- Stir once and serve.
