Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1.25 oz Scotch; 0.25 oz Curaçao Liqueur; 0.25 oz Lemon Juice; 1 tsp Simple Syrup; 1.25 oz Soda Water

Bright lemon and Curaçao lift the smoky, malty character of the Scotch into a lively, easy-drinking cocktail; the soda gives it a light effervescence and the flamed orange peel adds a warm, aromatic citrus finish. It looks pale and bubbly in a chilled cocktail glass and is worth trying if you like Scotch-forward drinks with a refreshing, citrus twist.
