The French Canadian

Chill a cocktail coupe glass in advance to ensure it's perfectly cold when serving.

Prepare a fresh cucumber slice for garnish and set aside.

Muddle the cucumber at the base of your shaker, removing the skin before chopping if desired for a smoother texture.

Add the cognac, Hayman's London Dry Gin, maple syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a dash of Angostura Aromatic Bitters to the shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously to combine and chill the ingredients.

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

Garnish with the prepared cucumber slice and serve immediately.
