Bright and citrus-laced, the Bourbon Crusta pairs oak-forward bourbon with orange liqueur and maraschino sweetness, balanced by tart lemon and a superfine sugar rim. It looks dramatic in a sugar-coated wine goblet with a long spiraled orange peel draped inside, and drinks like a refined, slightly sweet old-school cocktail. Worth trying for its historical Crusta presentation and the way the fruit and sugar lift the whiskey without overwhelming it.

Ingredients
1.5 oz Bourbon
0.5 oz Cointreau® Orange Liqueur
2 tsp Maraschino Cherry Liqueur
0.5 oz Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Caster Sugar
Instructions
Prepare a wine goblet by rubbing its rim with a lemon wedge and dipping it into superfine sugar until evenly coated.
Cut a long spiral of orange peel and place it inside the glass so that it drapes over one side.
Pack the glass with crushed ice to chill it thoroughly.
In a cocktail shaker, combine bourbon whiskey, Cointreau orange liqueur, maraschino liqueur, and lemon juice.
Shake the mixture vigorously until well-blended and chilled.
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass.
Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing Bourbon Crusta.
