Notes

Expert Tips and Variations:
  • For a sweeter cocktail, add a touch of simple syrup, agave syrup, or a splash of orange juice. You can use regular oranges or for something a little extra special, try blood oranges. Pineapple juice would also be great!
  • For a more complex drink, try adding a few dashes of orange bitters. 
  • Try muddling a rosemary sprig, cucumber slices, or a mint sprig before adding your ice and ingredients for an unexpected twist.
