Mixology Guide

Step-by-Step Instructions

4 Steps
  1. 1

    Add the simple syrup and bitters to a rocks glass.

  2. 2

    Pour in the whiskey and add one large ice cube.

  3. 3

    Stir gently for 20-30 seconds to chill and dilute slightly.

  4. 4

    Express the oils from an orange peel over the glass and drop it in.

💡 Pro Bartender Tip

Always pre-chill your glassware in the freezer for 10 minutes before pouring. Use large, crystal-clear ice cubes to reduce rapid dilution while maintaining maximum chill.
