The Charleston - Cocktail Recipe

Wondering how to make The Charleston? Cocktail Builder will help!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz of Bourbon
  • 1 1/2 oz of madeira (alt: fortified wine)
  • 3 dash of bitters
  • 1 twist of orange peel

Instructions

Combine over ice, stir, strain into coupe glass. Express orange peel into drink and use as garnish. I've riffed it using Rye or Bourbon, and I've used grapefruit peel instead of orange as well. All good.
