Stirred to perfection with a semi-rich Demerara syrup and poured over a large ice cube. We delicately flame the orange peel to infuse the drink with toasted orange aromas and flavors.

How to make it

ORANGE SWATH GARNISH
Use an Ostehøvel cheese peeler to peel the orange, ensuring the swath has a uniform shape. Hold the swath at an angle over the top, flame it to release the oils, then rub the oils around the rim of the glass. Clip the swath to the side of the glass for the final presentation.
