Authentic Cypriot Taverna Brandy Sour Cocktail - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 ounces brandy (2 measures (typically KEO VSOP or Haggipavlu Anglias brands)
1 1/2 ounces lemon cordial, to taste (1 measure)
2 -4 drops bitters (Angostura or Cypriot Cock Drops brands)
lemonade or soda water
ice

Preparation

Add the angostura bitters to a tall glass, and then pour in the brandy followed by the lemon cordial. (2 measures of brandy to 1 measure of lemon cordial is the ratio.).
Stir before topping up with lemonade (for a classic, slightly sweeter drink) or soda water (for less sweetness and a more pronounced brandy flavour) and add plenty of ice.
