Just To Take The Edge Off

Chill a cocktail coupe in advance to ensure optimal temperature for serving.

In a mixing glass, combine the cognac and fino sherry.

Add orgeat and a dash of orange bitters for depth and complexity.

Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir well to properly chill and dilute the mixture.

Double strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail coupe to achieve a smooth finish.

Garnish the cocktail with a brandied cherry to add a touch of elegance and flavor.
