Equipment needed
Cocktail Shaker
Jigger
Citrus Juicer
Bar Spoon
Strainer
Ice Tray
Glassware
Ingredients for Henny Hustle Cocktail
2 ounces of Hennessy (or your favorite brand of Cognac)
1 ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 ounce of simple syrup (or honey as an alternative)
Ice cubes
Lemon twist or mint sprig for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Grab your cocktail shaker, as we’re about to get our mixology groove on! Fill it halfway with ice cubes to give your Henny Hustle a chill like no other.
Now, it’s time to introduce the star of the show: the Hennessy! Pour in 2 ounces of this smooth Cognac into the shaker, allowing its captivating flavors to set the stage for a memorable cocktail experience.
Next up, we need a touch of citrusy sass to balance out the richness of the Hennessy. Squeeze the juice of a fresh lemon, making sure to remove any pesky seeds, and pour in 1 ounce of that tangy goodness into the shaker.
To sweeten things up and bring some harmony to the mix, it’s time for a little sweetness. You can go the classic route and add 1/2 ounce of simple syrup, which is essentially equal parts water and sugar dissolved together. Or, if you prefer a more natural touch, substitute the simple syrup with a drizzle of honey. Either way, this touch of sweetness will make your taste buds sing.
Now, it’s showtime! Place the lid on your cocktail shaker and shake it like you’re dancing the twist. Give it a good shake for about 10 seconds, allowing all the ingredients to get to know each other and create a symphony of flavors.
Get ready to pour! Grab a fancy glass and strain your Henny Hustle cocktail into it, using a strainer to keep the ice and any lingering bits from the shaker out of your glass.
If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can add a lemon twist or a sprig of mint as a garnish. Not only does it make your Henny Hustle look Instagram-worthy, but it also adds a hint of aroma to enhance the overall experience.
It’s time to sip, my friend! Take a moment to appreciate the enticing aroma wafting from your glass. Then, take a sip and let the flavors work their magic on your taste buds. Savor the smoothness of the Hennessy, the bright burst of lemon, and the subtle sweetness dancing on your tongue.
Tips
Experiment with the sweetness level: If you like your cocktails on the sweeter side, feel free to add a bit more simple syrup or honey. Remember, it’s all about finding the balance that suits your taste preferences.
Ice, ice, baby: Make sure to shake your cocktail with plenty of ice to chill it properly. This enhances the flavors and adds a refreshing touch to your sips.
Play with garnishes: Get creative with your garnishes! If lemon twists or mint sprigs aren’t your thing, try a sugared rim or a twist of orange peel. It’s your cocktail, so let your imagination run wild!
Share the joy: The Henny Hustle cocktail is a social sipper, so don’t keep it all to yourself. Whip up a batch for your friends and enjoy the cocktail together. Cheers to good company and great flavors!
