Brandy Cocktail

The archetypal mid-19th-century "cocktail" was usually conscionable a premix of a basal spirit, a fewer dashes of bitters and elemental syrup, and "curaçoa," a catch-all sanction for orangish liqueurs. This mentation of the Brandy Cocktail does distant with the elemental syrup and increases the magnitude of orangish liqueur.

Spirits columunist Jason Wilson recommends seeking retired the caller Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao, which is based connected a 19th-century recipe. But this works with Grand Marnier and, to a lesser extent, Cointreau oregon Combier. Wilson prefers Peychaud's bitters, but Angostura works good arsenic well. Use a VSOP-quality oregon higher cognac.
