Orange peel

A twist or slice of orange rind used as an aromatic garnish, expressing fragrant citrus oils over cocktails. Orange peel adds bright, sweet citrus fragrance without sourness. Flaming an orange peel over a cocktail caramelizes the oils for a spectacular aromatic finish, as in the Oaxacan Old Fashioned.
