Course Drinks
Servings 1 cocktail

Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz bourbon
  • 1 orange peel
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 3-5 dashes of bitters
  • 1 big ice cube
  • 1-2 T water

Instructions
 

  • Add 1 tsp brown sugar to a cocktail glass.
  • Add 3-5 dashes of bitters to the glass (we do closer to 5 because we like it more savory)
  • Add a splash of water to the cocktail glass and use a bar spoon to stir.
  • Add 3 oz of bourbon to your glass.
  • Add your big ice cube to the glass and stir one more time.
  • Using a kitchen torch or lighter, carefully flame your orange peel for a few seconds. Once you have done that, rub the peel around the rim of your cocktail glass. You can also twist and ring out the peel for a little bit more flavor. Place the orange peel in the glass once you have completed the above steps.
