Author Notes
Modern twists on this drink use whiskey instead of brandy. On Mad Men Sunday nights though, I’m sticking with this classic recipe. —Jennifer Perillo
Ingredients
-
Superfine sugar to rim glasses
-
1
orange
-
2
peels of orange rind
-
2 ounces
brandy
-
2 ounces
triple sec
-
2
fresh squeezed lemon juice
-
2
old fashioned cocktail or martini glasses
Directions
-
Add sugar to a small plate. Make two twists from orange rind, by cutting strips with a paring knife or vegetable peeler (try not to get any of the bitter white pith). Cut a wedge from remaining orange and wipe it around the rim of each glass. Dip rims in sugar and add one piece of rind to each glass.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add brandy, triple sec and lemon juice. Stir vigorously until beads of sweat form on outside of shaker. Strain into prepared glass. Serve immediately.
