- ½ Orange Wheel
- 2 dashes Scrappy’s Aromatic Bitters
- Garnish: Lemon Wheel, Crushed Ice, Scrappy’s Aromatic Bitters
DIRECTIONS
1
Combine the rye, syrup, lemon juice, orange wheel & bitters in a mixing glass with ice. Muddle in the orange wheel.
2
Shake the mixture until well chilled.
3
Strain into a glass over crushed ice.

Top the drink with enough crushed ice to mound out of the drink at the top. Dash the mounded ice with additional bitters until it’s visibly red. Serve.
