What you'll need:
50mls of whisky of your choice20mls of lemon juice
1/2 cup of FAMOUS Lemon Soda
An Orange
Ice
Cocktail Shaker
Hawthorne strainer
Method:
-
Start by combining your chosen whisky and fresh lemon juice in a cocktail shaker.
-
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.
-
Strain the mixture through a Hawthorne strainer into a glass filled with ice.
-
Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of Famous Lemon Soda, and then add an orange twist garnish
How to craft the perfect orange twist
- Start with a fresh, ripe orange. wash thoroughly and pat dry
- Use a pairing knife or vegetable peeler to cut a wide slice of orange peel, being mindful not to cut too deep to avoid taking too much of the white pith, as it can be bitter.
- next trim the ends of the peel into a diagonal shape.
- Now to twist. The trick to a long lasting twist is to twist around a chop stick and let sit for a few seconds.
Place the twist on the rim of a glass or on top of a drink or dish to add a pop of colour and aromatic flavour.
