Quebec City (a brandy-based Toronto)

Chill a cocktail coupe to ensure optimal serving temperature.

Prepare the garnish by twisting a piece of orange zest and skewering a Luxardo Maraschino Cherry.

Combine cognac, Fernet Branca, maple syrup, Angostura bitters, and chilled water in a mixing glass.

Stir the mixture with ice until well-chilled.

Fine strain the cocktail into the pre-chilled coupe.

Express the oils from the orange zest over the drink, then discard the zest.

Finish the presentation with the skewered cherry garnish.
