Ingredients

Instructions

  • Take a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes.
  • Pour the lemon juice, Curacao, and Cognac in equal parts into the shaker.
  • Add a generous dash of Gin to intensify the aroma of the cocktail.
  • Close the shaker and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the ingredients are perfectly combined and the cocktail is chilled.
  • Choose a suitable stemmed glass for serving the cocktail and strain the mixture into it, being careful to retain the ice cubes in the shaker.
  • Decorate the rim of the glass with a thin slice of lemon and add a grapefruit zest inside the glass for an aromatic and elegant touch.

Notes

To add a unique twist to your Gincana, try infusing the Cognac with spices such as cinnamon or vanilla for a few hours before preparing the cocktail. This small variation will give your drink a spicy and enveloping note that will surprise your guests.
