1 dash
A class of bitters that a broadly made from aromatic herbs, spices, fruits and botanicals. This includes Peychuad and Angostura bitters. You can make these at home. There are plenty of recipes online for various bitters, a good book source is 'Bitters' by Brad Parsons. The only down side is they generally require hard-ish to source ingredients.
1 twist
An orange colored citrus fruit. Many types of orange make an appearance in cocktails. The peel and juice are equally valuable to diverse cocktails.
Combine all in the mixing glass with ice and stir until chilled. Add a large ice cube to a double old-fashioned glass. Strain the drink into the glass. Express an orange twist over the surface of the drink then discard the twist. To garnish, use a paring knife to slice a thick strip of zest from an orange and stud it with 2-3 cloves. #stir #ontherocks
