Expert Notes
-
- Muddle with Care: When muddling your sugar(syrup), orange, and bitters, be gentle to avoid over-extracting any bitter compounds. A few gentle twists with a muddler should be enough to release the flavors without turning your mocktail into a bitter mess.
-
- Choose Your Sweetness: Experiment with different sweeteners to find the perfect balance for your taste buds. While classic simple syrup works well, you can also try using maple syrup or natural cane sugar for a more nuanced flavor.
-
- Don't Skimp on the Bitters: Bitters are essential for adding depth and complexity to your old-fashioned mocktail. Try experimenting with different varieties or brands to find the perfect combination that suits your palate.
-
- Experiment with Temperature: While traditionally served over a large ice cubes, don't be afraid to play around with temperature variations. Try serving your mocktail slightly chilled or at room temperature to see how it affects the flavor profile.
