Method
Cocktail
Build and stir
Add 2 oz Lunazul Reposado tequila, 0.5 oz agave syrup, 3 dashes mole bitters and 1 dash aromatic bitters (if using) into a mixing glass or a small jug.
Place a large clear ice cube (or several large ice cubes) into an old fashioned glass.
Strain the chilled cocktail over the large ice cube into the prepared glass.
Garnish & finish
Expressed orange oils
Take an orange peel and hold it with the outer (zest) side facing the drink about 2–3 inches above the surface. Pinch the peel to express the oils across the cocktail, moving across the surface so oils spread evenly. Rub the rim of the glass with the peel to transfer additional citrus aroma.
Optional flamed twist
If you want a smoky citrus note, hold the peel between a lighter/flame and the surface of the drink and quickly flame it once while pinching to express oils. Be careful and quick; this step is optional.
Drop the used peel into the drink or rest it on the rim as a garnish. Serve immediately.
