Cocktail

o 2 ounces Hennessey VS

cognac

o 1 bar spoon of Maraschino

liqueur

o 1 dash Pernod Absinthe

Supérieure

o ¼ ounce Simple Syrup

(see: Syrups etc.)

o 1 dash Angostura bitters or

to taste

Garnish

o lemon peel


Method:

1. Stir to combine all but

cognac in an Old-Fashioned

glass.

2. Add cognac and one large

ice cube and stir to chill.

the rim of the glass, skin side

Comments:

Prior to 1870 all cocktails were

a base spirit, sugar, bitters, and

water. Bartender Jerry Thomas

is credited with “improving”

them, henceforth and forever

more by adding another spirit

to the recipe. Thank you, Mr.

Thomas.
