Tips & Suggestions
Freeze serving ice cubes with a thin strip of orange zest embedded inside. As the ice melts, it gradually releases faint orange oils into the beverage.
To create an unexpected savoury-spicy contrast, lightly moisten a section of the outer rim and dip in a mixture of fine sea salt and ground ginger.
