Notes
Pro Tips
- Use a quality bourbon like Old Forester 100, Woodford Reserve, or Buffalo Trace for a well-balanced depth of flavor.
- For a stronger herbal bitterness, increase the Cynar slightly or use a spicier bourbon.
- Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink before serving to enhance the aromatics.
- If you prefer a richer texture, stir slightly longer to achieve a well-integrated, silky consistency.
