Combine Cognac, sherry and bitters in a mixing glass half-filled with ice. Stir until chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe. Squeeze orange twist over drink and drop in.
In Covid-19 times, I used what I had: mediocre sherry and Grand Marnier. Very nice, still. Once I get my my expected negative Covid-19 test, my liquor store list will include good sherry and V.S.O.P. Cognac.
No cognac so made it with Armenian brandy and Dino sherry. A pleasant nutty almost butteryness. Different but great for a lower ABV aperitif!
Another Covid adaptation note: Having grown up in Wilmington, the recipe had me at the Green Room, so very pleased they have retained the traditional name! Too young to sit at the bar, but now retired in the deep Peloponnese, the wilds of the Mani. Like Mark, I had to improvise a little: Hennessy, a less than dry sherry, but no bitters south of Athens. Used extra orange twist and a small splash of Campari. Flute not coupe."Austere" is the new luxury, "Elegant" is in the attitude. Smooth! Yammas!
