  • Sweet, consider a splash of soda, but a nice drink from friends at Death & Co.

Curated slightly to make instructions more concise in the Kindred Cocktails style. (We assume expertise on the part of the reader, so basic instructions aren't needed.)

Dan commented on 2/24/2012:

Corrected recipe to authentic recipe as verified directly from Phil Ward. Changed St Germain from 2 oz to 1/2 and glass from up to OTR. Also, removed preferred brand of Regans' orange bitters because Phil didn't specify a brand.
