- Add Cognac, Green Chartreuse, Benedictine, and Angostura bitters to a mixing glass with cubed ice.
- Stir until cold and properly diluted.
- Strain into a chilled coupe.
- Garnish with a cherry or orange twist.
Notes
- Rye whiskey was mentioned conversationally as an alternate base spirit but was not part of the primary landed recipe.
