Burnt Fuselage Cocktail

The Burnt Fuselage is a classic cocktail named after, well, a burnt fuselage!  It's a surprisingly smooth and satisfying drink despite its fiery name. Here's what you'll need to make one:

Ingredients:

• 1 ounce cognac
• 1 ounce Grand Marnier
• 1 ounce dry vermouth
• Garnish (optional): lemon twist

Instructions:

1. For best results, pre-chill a coupe or cocktail glass.
2. Add the cognac, Grand Marnier, and dry vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice.
3. Stir the drink for about 20-30 seconds to chill and dilute it. Strain into your chilled coupe glass.
4. Express the oils from a lemon twist over the drink and garnish the rim. Enjoy your Burnt Fuselage!

Tips:

• High-quality ingredients will make a noticeable difference in the final product.
• If you don't have Grand Marnier, you can substitute another orange liqueur like Cointreau.
• For a drier drink, use a slightly higher proportion of dry vermouth.
• Some variations call for equal parts (1.5 oz each) of cognac, Grand Marnier, and dry vermouth. Experiment to see which ratio you prefer.
