Ingredients

50ml Ogilvy vodka

15ml salted caramel syrup*

2 dashes of orange bitters

2 dashes of peach bitters

As much ice as you like

Amarena cherries or an orange twist

Method

Combine all of your main ingredients together and stir to 50% dilution. Pour the liquid into an ice-filled rocks glass and garnish with Amarena cherries or a tantalizing orange twist.

* To make syrup from scratch (for the best results), add one cup of white sugar to a pan and cook on a medium-to-high heat until it dissolves. Leave it for a few minutes to cool down, then tip in one cup of boiling water and a teaspoon of rock salt, before stirring until fully mixed. Note that the reaction between the hot caramel and boiling water can create a large amount of steam, or spoil the syrup, so add the water in one go and make sure the pan has cooled to prevent this.
