Quitting Ordinary

Use 2:1 rich simple syrup for its listed portion.

Chill a cocktail coupe glass in advance.

Prepare a twist of orange zest for garnish.

Stir the cognac, cold Earl Grey tea, crème de cassis, Strucchi Rosso Vermouth, and rich sugar syrup with ice until well chilled.

Fine strain the mixture into the pre-chilled coupe glass.

Express the orange zest over the cocktail to release its oils and use it as a garnish.
