Tuxedo
Spring 2016
While it’s only just a dash, bitters are essential here as they tie the ingredients together to give the drink a scintilla of spice. Both Angostura and Fee Brothers make excellent orange bitters that can be found at select supermarkets and gourmet stores. The classic London dry gins from Beefeater and Tanqueray are also terrific in this cocktail. To cut an orange zest coin, use a sharp paring knife and in a clean circular motion slice a round piece of peel about 1½ inches (4 cm) in diameter.
