Strips of fresh orange peel are tossed into the cocktail shaker to add brightness and infuse the drink with a bit of citrus flavor.

Add ice and shake everything together in the cocktail shaker to help the oils release from the orange peel and douse the bourbon drink with vibrant citrus essence.

The pinches of dry ground ginger, cinnamon, and a hint of Torani pumpkin pie syrup deliver festive seasonal autumn spice.
