Give this sweet and sour classic a try. It dates from the early 1920s and may have originated in either London or Paris -- or maybe somewhere else.

2 oz. cognac
1 oz. Cointreau
3/4 oz. lemon juice

Add the components to a shaker, add ice, and shake until the shaker is
frosty. Pour into a sugar rimmed cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon
twist.
