Rim the Glass: Aik fresh lemon wedge ko chilled coupe glass ki outer rim par lagayein. Phir glass ke geele hissay ko superfine white sugar ki shallow plate mein dip karein taake aik crisp layer ban jaye. Glass ko aik taraf rakh dein.

Combine Ingredients: Cocktail shaker ke andar 2 ounces (60 ml) Cognac, 1 ounce (30 ml) orange liqueur, aur ¾ ounce (22.5 ml) taaza lemon juice daalein.

Ice and Shake: Shaker ko bade aur solid ice cubes se achhi tarah bhar dein. Shaker ko tightly band karein aur 10 se 12 seconds tak zor se shake karein jab tak shaker bahar se bilkul frosty na ho jaye.

Strain and Serve: Hawthorne strainer aur aik fine-mesh cone strainer ka use karte hue liquid ko double-strain karein aur pehle se prepare kiye gaye sugar-rimmed coupe glass mein daalein taake ice ke chote tukde ya pulp drink mein na jayein.

Garnish: Orange twist ke essential oils ko drink ke upar squeeze (express) karein aur use glass ke andar drop kar dein.

Pro Mixology Tip: Sugar ko hamesha glass ke sirf bahar wale hissay par lagayein. Agar sugar drink ke andar chali gayi, to yeh 2:1:0.75 ka precision ratio kharab kar degi aur cocktail ka actual balance bigad jayega.
