Method

How to make Frank Sullivan Cocktail

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one clear coupe, moisten only the outside edge with a small amount of orange juice, dip it into one teaspoon of white sugar to make a narrow rim, and cut one short lemon-zest twist for expressing only.

  2. 02

    Measure 30 ml cognac, 22.5 ml triple sec, 15 ml blanc quinquina, 10 ml aromatized wine, and 15 ml fresh lemon juice into a shaker.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice and seal it securely.

  4. 04

    Shake firmly for 10–12 seconds until the pale amber mixture is very cold and properly diluted.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled sugar-rimmed coupe, taking care not to wet or disturb the narrow sugar edge.

  6. 06

    Express the lemon oils over the surface, discard the zest, and serve without any retained garnish.
