A sophisticated, citrusy, and slightly herbal brandy cocktail with smooth, balanced flavors.

Served in a coupe glass with a golden hue, garnished with a lemon twist.

Try using an aged Cognac for extra depth, or add a splash of sparkling wine for a bubbly variation.

Pairs well with French cheeses, buttery pastries, or roasted nuts.
