Daguerre's Dream

Chill a martini glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice and water.

Combine the cognac, dry vermouth, herbal liqueur, Crème de Violette, and pastis in a mixing glass filled with ice.

Stir gently until the mixture is well-chilled.

Strain the cocktail into the chilled martini glass.

Garnish with a twist of lemon peel, expressing the oils over the drink before placing it in the glass.
