1 Drink
5 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 sugar cube, or ½ teaspoon of sugar
3 dashes of orange bitters
Splash of club soda
2 large peels of orange zest
2 ounces rye or bourbon
Opal Ice
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the sugar in the bottom of a mixing glass. Add the bitters and a splash of soda.
Use a muddler to crush the sugar until it is dissolved. Squeeze the orange peel over the glass to express the citrus oils and muddle it in with the bitters and sugar. This will impart a fresh orange flavor into the cocktail.
Fill an Old Fashioned glass with Opal Ice and run the second peice of orange zest around the rim of the glass. Pour in the cocktail. Stir and enjoy.
