Hoopla

The HOOPLA cocktail mix is simple and memorable: four ingredients, all in equal parts. For a tart drink, omit the sugar rim; for a sweeter one, add it. You can create a tasty Hoopla by starting with a Sidecar mix, then adding Lillet Blanc and a touch more lemon juice. It’s really not as much fuss as the name might suggest.

Requirements: Brandy (or cognac), Cointreau, Lillet Blanc (or Cocchi Americano), Lemon Juice, Lemon peel

• 3/4 oz. Brandy (or Cognac)
• 3/4 oz. Cointreau
• 3/4 oz. Lillet Blanc
• 3/4 oz. Lemon juice
• 1 lemon peel for garnish

Pour all liquid ingredients into an ice-filled shaker. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Drop a lemon peel into the drink. Enjoy!

COMMENTS: Some argue that Cocchi Americano is an equally good, if not superior, substitute for Lillet Blanc in this cocktail. However, the Lillet version works well and is still the traditional preference in this delicious recipe.
