  1. Fill two mixing-glasses with fine ice.
  2. Put the sugar, a little water, lemon juice, and brandy into one glass.
  3. Turn the second glass on top of the first, leave there a moment, then reverse the glasses so as to allow the liquid to flow from one glass into the other.
  4. Repeat this until the mixture is very cold, strain into a fancy glass, trim with fruits in season, and serve.

Garnish: Seasonal fruit

Nose
Brandy, lemon, and icy freshness define the drink immediately.
Palate
This is a compact punch rendered in the language of the frappé, more about extreme chill and polish than bulk service.
Finish
The finish is cold, citric, and neat.
Summary
A punch rendered as a hyper-chilled fancy-glass service.
