With a base of Usquaebach Whisky (Scotch crafted with the fiery spirit of the Scottish highlands) alongside the spiciness of habanero peppers and the sweet kick of fresh blood orange juice, this subtly smoky, flame-red sipper embodies our favorite fire type: a little feisty, a little sweet.
- 1 1/2 ounces Usquaebach Reserve
- 1 1/2 ounces fresh blood orange juice
- 1/2 ounce habanero simple syrup (In a saucepan, heat equal parts sugar and water. Slice one habanero pepper and remove seeds. Add habanero slices to the pan. Allow to cool.)
- Blood orange zest
Directions: Combine all ingredients and stir with ice. Strain into rocks glass. Flame the blood orange peel with a lighter to express. Drop into drink and serve.
