Ingredients

  • ¼ cup orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed)
  • 1 ½ ounces whisky
  • 1 Tablespoon aquafaba (the liquid from cooked or canned chickpeas, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon superfine sugar (see note)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  • Combine¼ cup orange juice, 1 ½ ounces whisky, 1 Tablespoon aquafaba , 1 teaspoon superfine sugar, ¼ teaspoon freshly grated ginger, and ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon together in a cocktail shaker with no ice. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. Add enough ice so that the shaker is about ¾ full and shake again for 10-15 more seconds. Strain into A coupe or old fashioned glass and garnish with an orange peel twist, candied ginger, cinnamon stick, or additional ground cinnamon as desired.

Notes

The aquafaba is optional, but if you don't use it, the drink will have a thinner consistency and no foam on the top.
You can make your own superfine sugar by grinding regular granulated sugar in a food processor or coffee grinder until it reaches a powdered consistency. Store any excess in an airtight container for future cocktail making.
