Strain
Place a large ice cube or sphere into the chilled rocks glass. Double-strain the stirred cocktail into the glass over the ice using a julep or Hawthorne strainer (to catch any small chips if present).

Garnish
Express the orange peel over the drink by holding it with the outer (colored) side down and giving it a firm twist to release oils, then rub the peel briefly along the rim and drop it into the glass.

Add chocolate
Sprinkle approximately 1/2 teaspoon of finely grated dark chocolate or chocolate shavings over the top of the drink for a subtle chocolate aroma and visual finish.
