I want them to make it to the surface of my cocktail. What am I missing?

But damm good!

Winner!
Wife likes it, I tweaked it by reducing the bitters to one dash and adding 2 oz. cognac/ brandy, 1/2 oz Islay (Ardburg) scotch, and flamed twist. She prefers your recipe, I like mine a little better, both are great.
Bartender geeks use Demerara syrup, I like the idea of using brown sugar. It’s always in the pantry.
I will try and find my drunken post of the smokey Rob Roy, it was posted while you were in Portofino, drunk, after reading Don Winslow’s Savages. Crazy writing. May have gotten deleted by the blog police.
Will cease posting at this time, before buzz kicks in.

One thing, I see from the photo that you bend the orange skin so that it’s convex, squeezing pith-to-pith; I learned to squeeze the skin the opposite way, so that the orange skin becomes concave. Now I have to go to the store to get an orange to see which method expels more orange oil, because the smell of burnt orange is one that I like very much.

A very practical and serious experiment for a Friday night, I believe.

Cheers and happy Friday!

I predict she will once again appreciate that gesture a few quick years from now.
Will chime in later, after I try one of these masterpieces.

Cheers to you and your inspiration.

What is it that you can’t get in Ohio (beside <12%ABV beers)? As I'm not horribly far from KY (where just about everything liquid is sold legally) I'm interested to see if it would be worth the exodus from OH to make the cocktail you mentioned!

Wikipedia’d it but still not sure what laws? Just curious.
