Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare shaker
Chill a rocks glass or old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice and setting aside. Fill a cocktail shaker with the measured ice cubes (about 6 cubes).

Combine ingredients
Add 2 oz Clase Azul Reposado, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, and 2 dashes orange bitters to the shaker.
- 3
Shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well-chilled (this dilutes and cools the mixture properly).

Strain
Double-strain (using a Hawthorne and fine-mesh strainer) the shaken cocktail into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube to remove shards of ice and citrus pulp.
Garnish & Finish
- 6
Flame orange peel
Hold the orange peel (skin side facing a flame) about 6 inches above the glass. Quickly fold the peel away from your face, and using a lighter or match, briefly express the peel over the flame so a spray of orange oil passes through the flame and onto the surface of the drink — a quick flaming will add a warm, aromatic top note. Rub the peel around the rim if desired.
- 7
Finish
Arrange the flamed orange peel on top of the large ice cube and add a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
