The Metropolitan Cocktail

PH factor: 9.0

Recipe

Ingredients:     

Cocktail

o 2 ounces Hennessey VS cognac

o 1 ounce Lillet Rouge

o ½ teaspoon Simple Syrup, see: Syrups etc.

o 1 dash Angostura bitters

or to taste

Method:

1. Shake over ice.

2. Serve up in a martini glass.

Remarks:

The Metropolitan has all of the

elements of the classic cocktail

from the 1800s including bitters.

Since bitters will often define

the taste of a cocktail and since

taste varies from person to

person we include the codicil,

"or to taste" in many of our

recipes.
