Method

How to make Brandy Crusta Cocktail

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill the wine thoroughly, prepare the Fine sugar rim and one long thin lemon peel lining the glass, and ready the shaker.

  2. 02

    Measure brandy, maraschino liqueur, triple sec, lemon juice, simple syrup, aromatic bitters, white sugar, lemon accurately and add them to a clean cocktail shaker.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid ice cubes and seal it firmly.

  4. 04

    Chill a small stemmed wine glass, coat only the outside edge with a fine sugar crust, then fit one continuous thin lemon peel neatly inside. Shake the brandy, maraschino liqueur, triple sec, lemon juice, simple syrup, and two dashes of bitters with ice for 10–15 seconds, fine-strain without disturbing the rim or peel, and add no other garnish.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled wine so no small ice fragments reach the drink.

  6. 06

    Finish with Fine sugar rim and one long thin lemon peel lining the glass and serve immediately.
