Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
A fresh, juicy orange wedge is essential since its vivid oils and citrus juice are essential for complementing the whisky; pre-cut or old fruit will not provide the same zest.
Preparation Tip 2
While regular oranges are great, try blood oranges or cara cara oranges to add a variation to the drink, for minor differences in sweetness and aroma without altering the flavour profile of the beverage.
