A classic New Orleans cocktail that predates even the Sazerac. It's notable that we call it a Brandy Crusta, as -- much like many other drink categories -- the "Crusta" can be made with an array of different base spirits. But that distinctive collar of lemon peel and the generously sugar-crusted rim are signature elements of the original. The result is a delicious, spirit-forward drink that is both eyecatchingly unique and comfortingly familiar in flavor, especially if you are fond of the Sidecar, a later cousin of this very sippable serve.
Ingredients
1½ oz Cognac
½ oz Lemon Juice
¼ oz Luxardo Maraschino
¼ oz Rich Simple
2 dashes Aromatic Bitters
Instructions
Shake/Strain into Coupe or Cocktail Glass. Garnish with Sugar Rim and Large Lemon Peel.
