Crimson Oak Serenity

Description: The Crimson Oak Serenity is a sophisticated and straightforward cocktail that marries the robust warmth of bourbon with the tart, refreshing notes of unsweetened cranberry juice. A dash of orange bitters brings complexity to the drink, while a spritz of lemon zest oil on top adds an aromatic lift, making it an ideal choice for a relaxing evening or a refined social gathering. Ingredients: - 2 oz Bourbon - 2 oz Unsweetened Cranberry Juice - 2 dashes Orange Bitters - Lemon Peel for garnish Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, cranberry juice, and orange bitters. 2. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir until well chilled, about 30 seconds. 3. Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice. 4. Express the oil from a strip of lemon peel over the drink by holding the peel over the glass and giving it a firm twist to release the oils, then drop the peel into the glass as a garnish. Glass: Serve in a rocks glass.
