- Build in an old fashioned cocktail glass over a cube of ice.
- Serve with a small barspoon in the glass.
Garnish: Orange peel
Ice: Cube of ice
This matters because Ensslin preserves a spirit-forward Irish branch built in old-fashioned service rather than as a fully chilled stemmed cocktail.
The direct glass build and serving spoon matter; this is closer to an old-fashioned service grammar than a standard strained aromatic cocktail.
