Recipe Notes

Equipment:

  • cocktail shaker
  • measure
  • glass
  • stirrer

How to express orange peel:

  • carefully remove the top layer of the skin, leaving the white pith behind - I use a sharp potato peeler
  • take your peel and hold each end with a thumb and forefinger and twist it over the drink
  • wipe the outer side of the peel over the edge of your glass
  • you can now either garnish you drink with the peel, serve it in the drink or throw it away.
