Japanese Cocktail
The Japanese Cocktail is a 3-ingredient classic cocktail that's been around since the 1800s.
- 2 oz cognac or brandy
- ½ oz orgeat*
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 lemon peel, to garnish
Add all three ingredients to a cocktail shaker or cocktail glass filled with ice.
Stir to incorporate the ingredients and to chill the ingredients (cocktail recipes without citrus are never shaken).
Strain into a coupe glass.
Express the lemon peel over the top of the glass before placing it into the glass.
