Ritz Cocktail

(from largomason’s recipe box)

To flame an orange peel, cut an oval-shaped piece of orange rind, approximately 1 by 11/2 inches. Hold the peel gently by the edges over the drink and light a match under the peel, skin side down. Squeeze the peel so that a spray of orange oil ignites and leaves caramelized orange oil on the surface of the drink.
