Ingredients

1 raw sugar cube or 1/2 teaspoon raw turbinado sugar

6 quick dashes aromatic bitters

1 orange slice

1 maraschino cherry

Ice cubes

2 ounces brandy

1 tablespoon lemon-lime soda

1 tablespoon club soda

1 orange slice for garnish

1 maraschino cherry for garnish

Directions

  1. Place the sugar cube in the bottom of a rocks glass. If using granulated sugar, add it to the glass as well.

  2. Dash the aromatic bitters over the sugar, then add one orange slice and one maraschino cherry into the glass.

  3. Add a handful of ice cubes to the glass, filling it about halfway.

  4. Pour the brandy over the ice and sugar mixture.

  5. Add the lemon-lime soda and club soda as a splash, stirring gently with a bar spoon to combine all ingredients until the sugar dissolves slightly.

  6. Garnish the rim and top of the cocktail with the remaining orange slice and maraschino cherry. Serve immediately and enjoy.
