Bahan-bahan

1 porsi

1 3 -inch-long piece orange peel
1/2 ounce ginger juice*
1 Tbsp maple syrup ((or sub cane sugar or agave nectar))
1 1/2 ounces lemon juice
2 dashes bitters
2 ounces bourbon whiskey ((I recommend Buffalo Trace or Bulleit Bourbon))
Ice (for shaking)
3 -4 large ice cubes

1 sprig fresh mint ((optional))
fresh fruit ((optional // such as cranberries, lemon or orange wedges, pomegranate, or raspberries))

Langkah-langkah

Run orange peel around the rim of your serving glass. Then add peel to a small pitcher or cocktail shaker along with ginger juice, maple syrup, lemon juice, and bitters.
Use a muddler (or a spoon) to muddle/meld the orange peel with the other ingredients - about 1 minute.
Next, add bourbon and ice and stir or shake vigorously to combine - about 30 seconds.
Pour over serving glass with 3-4 ice cubes. To dilute slightly, top with a dash of sparkling water (optional). For a more festive touch, you could also top with champagne (optional). Garnish with fresh mint and cranberries (also optional).
To multiply this recipe, prepare in a large pitcher and multiply ingredients by number of servings desired. Will keep stored in the refrigerator up to 24 hours (don’t add ice before serving or it will dilute the cocktail).
