Tips & Tricks (5)

Pre-Chill Your Glassware 🧊
Place your glasses in the freezer for at least 2 hours before the party so the cocktail stays perfectly cold without over-diluting from melting ice.
Balance Your Bitters Ratio ⚖️
Use a 2:1 ratio of Angostura to orange bitters (typically 2-3 dashes Angostura to 1 dash orange) to achieve the signature smooth complexity without overpowering the bourbon.
Make Batch Simple Syrup with Bourbon 🥃
Add a splash of bourbon to your simple syrup when making the batch to deepen the flavor profile and create better integration with the whiskey.
Express Your Citrus Twist Properly 🍊
Hold the orange or lemon peel skin-side down over the drink and twist firmly to release the essential oils directly onto the surface, then rub the oils around the glass rim before dropping it in.
Batch Mix and Seal Strategy 🎯
Prepare your cocktail batch in a glass pitcher or container, seal tightly, and store on the freezer door shelf (not deep freeze) so it stays at optimal temperature and is instantly ready to pour for guests.
