Improved Japanese Cocktail
Lemon juice and bitters add a touch of creole sourness to this riff on the brandy-based classic Japanese Cocktail from Jerry Thomas's Bar Tenders Guide

When I bought Peychaud's bitters I was looking for a cocktail to use it in. I'm not a fan of cognac, but I love orgeat, so I decided to give this one a try. It is simply delicious. My homemade has a little less sugar than the recommended 2:1 and the balance was just perfect. One of my all time favourites!
