Hoopla
With this drink, you’ll finally understand what all the hoopla’s about (“ouch”). This drink’s really starting to grow on me and is rapidly becoming one of Mr. Booze’s “go to’s” when entertaining a few guests before dinner or when you have a more adventurous drinker over. It isn’t one of those cocktails you can make a huge shaker of. Brandy or Cognac is an acquired taste and not all your guests will want one. Remember cold is king with cocktails, and this cocktail requires it.
Here we go –
- ¾ oz Brandy or Cognac
- ¾ oz Lillet Blanc
- ¾ oz Cointreau
- ¾ oz lemon juice
In a shaker, shake everything with ice ‘til quite cold, strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon peel.
