Ingredients
- 8 ounces vodka
- 2 ounces simple syrup
- 8 dashes orange bitters
- Ice cubes
- 4 orange twists
Instructions
- Add the vodka, simple syrup, and orange bitters to a mixing glass.
- Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes and stir steadily for 20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
- Place fresh ice cubes into four rocks glasses.
- Strain the mixture evenly into the prepared glasses.
- Express each orange twist over the drink and drop it in as garnish.
Notes
Use a vegetable peeler to create wide orange twists so they release more aroma when expressed. Chill the mixing glass ahead of time if your kitchen is warm. Swap in a different citrus peel only if you keep the same proportions of vodka and bitters to maintain balance.
