BOURBON BRûLé
I mixed bourbon, ginger liqueur and sherry with a little fresh orange juice. And in a moment of inspiration, I gussied up the orange garnish by caramelizing the slices before placing them afloat in the drinks. I loved the way it looked and how it tasted. The sweet seared orange perfumes every sip.

Steps:
- Slice the orange in half horizontally. Cut a thin slice (no more than 1/8 inch) from each half. Coat one side of each slice with the sugar. Heat a small, heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, on high. Place the orange slices, sugar-side down, in the skillet and sear for a couple of minutes, until lightly caramelized. Remove from pan and let cool, browned side up. Juice the rest of the orange; you should have about 1/4 cup.
- Combine bourbon, sherry, ginger liqueur and orange juice in a cocktail shaker with a few ice cubes. Stir briefly to chill. Strain over ice into two rocks glasses. Place an orange slice, caramelized side up, directly in each glass, sitting on top of the rocks. Serve.
