2 | drinks |
Ingredients Juice of 1 lemon for sugaring the glasses | |
1/4 cup | sugar |
1/4 cup | dried cherries |
6 ounces | good Cognac,, (VS not VSOP), divided |
3 ounces | freshly squeezed lemon juice, (2 lemons) |
3 ounces | Grand Marnier liqueur |
Ice |
Directions
To sugar the glass rims, pour the juice of 1 lemon into a shallow bowl and put the sugar on a small plate. Dip the rim of 2 highball or martini glasses first in the lemon juice and then in the sugar. Set them aside to dry.
In a small bowl, combine the dried cherries with 2 ounces of the Cognac and microwave on high for 60 seconds. Set aside.
Combine the 3 ounces of lemon juice with the remaining 4 ounces of Cognac, the Grand Marnier, and 1 teaspoon of the marinated cherry liquid. Fill a cocktail shaker three-quarters full with ice and pour in the cocktail mixture. Shake the mixer for a full 30 seconds (it's longer than you think!) and strain into the prepared glasses either straight up or over ice. Thread 3 or 4 marinated cherries on small skewers and serve each drink ice cold with a skewer of cherries.
