Spring 2009
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add 1 oz brandy or Cognac, 1⁄2 oz orange liqueur and 2 oz Lemon Sourmix. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass lightly rimmed with fresh lemon and sugar. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Lemon Sour Mix
We make our Lemon Sour just a bit sweeter than the lime. To a pitcher, add 2 cups lemon juice and 21⁄2 cups simple syrup (recipe below). Stir to mix, cover and chill, or freeze for later use.
Simple Syrup
3 cups (750 mL) each granulated sugar and water
1. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring until sugar is dissolved, for 6 to 10 minutes or until mixture comes just to a boil and clarifies. Cool to room temperature; transfer to a sterilized jar. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
