Method
Cocktail
Build and shake
Add dark rum, rye whiskey, fresh lime juice, ginger syrup, and Angostura bitters to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well-chilled.
Prepare glass
Fill a highball or Collins glass with fresh cubed ice (about 1 cup).
Strain
Double-strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the ice to remove small ice shards and any pulp.
Top & Finish
Top with ginger beer
Carefully top the cocktail with about 2 oz of cold ginger beer to add fizz and extra ginger flavor. Gently stir once with a bar spoon (1–2 slow turns) to integrate.
Garnish and serve
Express the orange peel over the drink to release oils, then run the peel around the rim and drop it in as a garnish. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
