This is Grant Hurless’ truly fresh twist on the Old Fashioned. It’s so smooth and just the right amount of sweetness.

¾ ounce Grand Marnier liqueur

½ ounce lime juice

¼ ounce simple syrup

1 ½ ounces Asbach Uralt Brandy

Spash of soda water

Fresh orange rind for garnish

Build the cocktail in a rocks cocktail glass. Add a splash of soda water and garnish with an orange rind twist.
