Method
Cocktail
- 1
Chill glass
Place a rocks glass or coupe in the freezer for a few minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill.
- 2
Combine ingredients
Add 2 oz Crown Royal, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.
- 3
Add ice and shake
Add about 6 ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the outside is frosted slightly.

Prepare serving glass
If you chilled the glass with ice water, discard the water now. Add 4 fresh ice cubes to the chilled rocks glass (or prepare the coupe if serving up).
- 5
Strain
Double-strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer (if available) to remove small ice shards and pulp for a cleaner drink.
- 6
Garnish and serve
Express an orange twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down over the glass and giving it a quick squeeze to release the oils, then rub the rim with the peel and drop it into the drink. Optionally garnish with a Luxardo or maraschino cherry. Serve immediately.
