Time 4m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 oranges, halved, peeled, pith removed
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup plain thick Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • Place oranges cut-side up on a plate and sprinkle rosemary on top, pressing it into oranges so it adheres. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
  • On a grill or stovetop, put a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on surface. Spread remaining 1/4 cup sugar in skillet and when it starts to caramelize place oranges, cut-side down, on sugar. Let cook for 3 to 4 minutes, not moving oranges, so cut side burns nicely and oranges soften.
  • To serve, place 2 orange halves in bowl with 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, and drizzle with burnt sugar juices from skillet.

NOT QUITE PICON BIèRE



Not Quite Picon Bière image

Walk by any sidewalk bar or tabac in France, and the chalkboard menu is bound to include Picon Bière: a combination of Amer Picon - a sweetened, lightly bitter, burnt orange-flavored apéritif - and a long pour of light, often cheap beer. While Amer Picon is widely consumed all over France, the bottle is not available in the United States. Instead, approximate the French staple by combining a sweet, citrus-leaning amaro, orange liqueur, and a pilsner or light lager. Serve it in a Collins glass or build it directly in the beer bottle or can by taking a few big sips and pouring in the rest of the ingredients directly.

Categories     cocktails

Time 5m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ounce amaro, such as China-China Amer, Averna or Amaro Nonino
1/4 ounce orange liqueur
6 to 8 ounces pilsner or lager, chilled
Lemon or orange wedge, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a Collins or highball glass, combine the amaro and orange liqueur. Top with chilled beer, stir gently, and finish with a citrus wedge.

Tips:

  • Use ripe oranges: The riper the oranges, the sweeter and more flavorful your highball will be.
  • Char the orange peels over a gas burner or kitchen torch: This will release the orange oils and add a smoky flavor to your highball.
  • Use a good quality bourbon: Bourbon is the backbone of this cocktail, so make sure to use a brand that you enjoy.
  • Don't over-shake the cocktail: Over-shaking will dilute the flavors and make the drink too watery.
  • Serve the cocktail immediately: This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, so don't let it sit around for too long.

Conclusion:

The Burnt Orange Highball is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you are looking for a new cocktail to try, give the Burnt Orange Highball a try. You won't be disappointed.
