Ingredients

  1. 2oz Castaway Series Barrel Rested Gin
  2. .5oz St. Germaine Elderflower Liqueur
  3. Orange blossom water
  4. Orange peel garnish

Directions

  1. Use a jigger to measure 2oz Barrel Rested Gin and .5oz St. Germaine into your mixing glass. 
  2. Fill the mixing glass with ice, making sure there’s more ice than liquid.
  3. Stir gently with a long bar spoon until the cocktail is cold. 
  4. Add your large ice cube into your rocks glass.
  5. Use a hawthorne strainer to strain the cocktail from the mixing glass into the rocks glass.
  6. Use the vegetable peeler to peel one strip of orange peel, leaving some white pith intact on the back.
  7. Take the peel, lightly holding it on the top and bottom with both hands, long ways. Hold it above your cocktail and squeeze. You should see the oils from the orange peel releasing to create a soft orange aroma. Run the orange peel around the outsides of the cocktail glass and drop it in the drink.
  8. If you have an atomizer, add the orange blossom water to the bottle and spray the top of the finished cocktail 1-2 times. 
  9. If you do not have an atomizer, drop 1-2 drops of orange blossom water onto the top of the cocktail.
