Notes & Tips
This is the drink that proves you don't need six ingredients to make something great — just good whiskey, real bitters, and the patience to stir it properly. Mocktail swap: skip the whiskey, muddle the sugar and a couple dashes of non-alcoholic bitters with water, top with ice and a splash of black tea, and finish with the same orange twist. Same ritual, zero proof. Use the biggest ice cubes you've got — the slow melt is part of the magic.
