    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of orange bitters to the mixing glass.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds, ensuring the ingredients are well chilled and diluted.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Discard the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.

    Finish with Oils

    Spritz 1 tsp of lemon oil over the surface of the drink and add 1 tsp of olive oil as a garnish.
