Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • Ice (as needed)
  • Orange peel (1 piece, for muddling and garnish)

  3. Fill the glass with ice cubes, allowing them to chill the drink while maintaining the perfect balance of flavors.
  4. Stir again to ensure the drink is well mixed and chilled.

  6. Serve and enjoy this comforting cocktail, perfect for any occasion!
