Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Drink
Add 2 oz of smooth King’s Bourbon, 1 oz of vibrant orange liqueur, and 1/2 oz of freshly squeezed lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Toss in a generous handful of ice cubes—enough to keep things perfectly chilled. Now, seal the shaker tight and give it a vigorous shake until your hand feels like it might fall off (or until the shaker is nicely frosted). This is where all the magic happens, blending those bold, citrusy, and sweet flavors into pure harmony.
Step 2: Serve
Strain that delicious, silky mixture into a chilled martini glass, letting it cascade smoothly. For the finishing touch, garnish with a fresh lemon twist, carefully twisted over the drink to release its fragrant oils, adding a zesty aroma and a gorgeous visual pop. Now, raise your glass, savor the moment, and say cheers to a classic cocktail with a King’s Bourbon twist!
