1
Make honey syrup
If you don't have honey syrup ready, combine equal parts honey and warm water (for example, 1/4 cup honey + 1/4 cup warm water). Stir until fully dissolved and cool before using.
2
Chill a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer or fill with ice water to cool while you prepare the cocktail.

3
Add 2 oz Dewar's (or your chosen blended Scotch), 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz honey syrup, 0.25 oz orange liqueur, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.
4
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup or enough to come 3/4 of the way up). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch and the exterior frosts.
5
If you chilled your serving glass with ice water, dump it out now. Strain the cocktail through a fine strainer (or the shaker strainer) into the chilled coupe or into a rocks glass over a large ice cube if you prefer it on the rocks.

6
Express the oils from an orange peel over the surface of the drink by holding the peel skin-side down over the glass and giving it a firm squeeze, then run the peel around the rim and drop it into the drink as a garnish.
7
Serve immediately. Enjoy responsibly.
