Crusta

Name: Crusta
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 2 oz Brandy; 0.5 oz Lemon Juice; 1 tsp Maraschino Cherry Liqueur; 1 tsp Curaçao Liqueur; 2 dashes Aromatic Bitters

Bright and citrus-forward, the Crusta layers brandy's warm, fruity base with tart lemon, orange sweetness from curaçao and a hint of maraschino cherry, while aromatic bitters add rounded complexity. Served up in a sugar-rimmed cocktail glass it looks elegant and drinks slightly sweet at the rim but remains spirit-forward and lively, great for someone who likes classic, balanced cocktails with a citrus edge.
