  • About

A category of cocktail popular around the late 1800s, the Daisy was simply a sour cocktail with the addition of a small amount of seltzer water. Not to be confused with a fizz, which features three to four times the amount of soda water, the daisy has just enough seltzer to let the drink bloom.

Ingredients

  • 2 fl oz (60 ml) Cognac
  • ½ fl oz (15 ml

Method

Combine the Cognac, lemon juice, orange liqueur, and gum syrup in a shaker. Add ice, shake hard for 8–10 seconds, and strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass. Top with the seltzer.
