Method

Wash and brush an organic, untreated lemon, then cut a spiral of lemon peel, using a citrus peel. If it is too large, cut it with a sharp knife.
Put some ice in a tall tumbler glass, place the lemon peel inside and pour the cognac, add the ginger beer and let 2-3 drops of Angostura fall into it. Easy to do, but once you try it you'll love it.
