After much experimentation, I’ve just updated the recipe above with my new preferred spec. The previous recipe:

50 ml Cognac (brandy)
7.5 ml Triple sec Liqueur
7.5 ml Maraschino liqueur
15 ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
10 ml Sugar syrup (65.0°brix, equivalent to 2 sugar to 1 water)
5 ml Chilled water (omit if using wet ice)
2 dash Aromatic bitters

I love it. Since I've used Xerez brandy, which is quite sweet, I will skip the syrup next time.

Some might find this too sweet, but it is perfect for my taste. I use 1:1 simple syrup since I find the 2:1 a bit too sweet. I love the brandy and the slightly different taste of the Patronage instead of Cointreau.

Was looking for an aperitif for Mardi Gras. Since this has it roots in New Orleans, it was perfect. The cognac is enhanced by the Maraschino and Cointreau. Lemon adds a light citrus hint and the Angostura adds some spice notes.
