Cotillion Cocktail Bourbon Heritage Month

The vibrant flavors of orange and lemon juice balance out the warm vanilla and oak notes of aged spirits in this classic cocktail. At Café Cancale in Chicago, Scott Kennedy tweaks the ratios and uses dry curaçao instead of triple sec.

Ingredients

1 oz. bourbon (Kennedy uses Old Forester 86 proof)
¾ oz. aged rum (Kennedy uses Angostura 5 year)
½ oz. dry curaçao
¾ oz. fresh lemon juice
½ oz. fresh orange juice

Tools:shaker, strainer, fine strainer
Glass:cocktail
Garnish:flamed orange peel

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients in a shaker with ice, then shake to chill. Double strain into a chilled glass. Garnish.
