Tip 144: Flame an Orange Peel
 
The most common and relatively safe—yet still quite dramatic—way to add a little fire to your cocktails is by flaming an orange peel over a drink. This caramelizes the citrus oils and also creates a sudden flash of fire that keeps things interesting.
 
STEP ONE Prepare the drink. Using a paring knife, cut a small circle of peel from an unwaxed orange. Hold the peel between the thumb and forefinger of your dominant hand, zest side towards the drink.
 
STEP TWO Light a match and position it about 4 inches (10 cm) from the drink, then pinch the zest quickly so that the oils in the skin jet towards the match and cocktail.
 
STEP THREE Moisten the rim of the glass with the orange peel. Note: If you end up with a sooty peel, it means that your orange is waxed. Avoid using waxed fruit as it will contribute a sooty-chemical flavor.
 
STEP FOUR Garnish your drink with the flamed peel and enjoy!

THE BOOTHBY

This version of William “Cocktail Bill” Boothby’s signature cocktail comes from barman H. Joseph Ehrmann. Boothby was a bartender and author who tended bar at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco in the pre-quake days of the early 1900s. This variation on a Manhattan strikes the right sweetness and bitter balance, and it lends a nice effervescence and sophistication worthy of a cocktail party.
 
1½ oz bonded rye whiskey
1½ oz Italian (sweet) vermouth
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 oz sparkling wine (Brut preferred)
 
Combine all ingredients except sparkling wine in an ice-filled mixing glass and stir 20–30 seconds, until well chilled. Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass. Float sparkling wine on top.
