How to make it
Build and Stir
- Add the agave nectar, Angostura bitters, and orange bitters directly into a heavy rocks glass.
- Pour in the tequila and drop in one large ice block or a few sturdy ice cubes.
- Stir smoothly with a bar spoon for about 20 to 30 seconds until well-chilled and lightly diluted.
Garnish and Serve
- Express the oils from the orange peel over the surface of the cocktail by gently pinching it skin-side down, rub the rim of the glass with the peel, and drop it into the drink.
Garnish
Expressed fresh orange peel twist tucked beside the ice.
Make it alcohol-free
Replace the tequila with 60ml of a non-alcoholic agave spirit (such as CleanCo Clean T or Lyre's Agave Reserva) and swap the bitters for alcohol-free aromatic and citrus bitters (or a dash of fresh orange zest and a drop of non-alcoholic vanilla extract).
