Prep Your Ingredients

  • First up, make sure your orange juice is fresh. This makes all the difference. And have your Cognac at room temperature to let those complex flavors shine.

Combine and Shake

  • Into your cocktail shaker, pour the Cognac and orange juice. Add a good amount of ice. Then, please give it a vigorous shake for about 10 seconds. You want everything nicely chilled and mixed.

Serve

  • Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice. The visuals are as important as the taste, after all.

Garnish

  • Finish with an orange slice on the rim and a maraschino cherry dropped in for that extra sweetness and color.
