The combo of lemon juice and Cointreau in this classic cocktail gives a citrusy bite to ice cold brandy that always goes down smooth.

  1. hertz REVIEW:

    This is my favorite brandy cocktail. I've tried to make it at home before but never quite got it right until I tried this version. Perfect! Only thing I added was to rub the inside of the glass with the lemon peel because I had a bartender tell me to do that one time when I asked her how to make this (I still couldn't replicate what she made but now I did!)
