Prepare the peel: Cut a wide strip of orange peel and trim into a clean shape. Note: Straight edges and consistent thickness improve both aesthetics and the way oils express.*

Strain: Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass.

Flame the orange peel: Warm the peel with a lighter while holding it above the glass. Quickly snap the peel so the oils pass through the flame and fall onto the drink’s surface. (Note: Flaming caramelizes oils slightly, creating deeper candied-orange aromatics)

Garnish: Place the peel in the drink or rest on the rim.
