- Squeeze an orange and a lemon and pour the fresh juice through a sieve to remove all the pulp.

- Garnish your cocktail with a slice of orange, a cinnamon stick, and star anise.
Tips:
- If the syrup thickens too quickly, add a little water.
- Ice cubes play a key role. They add freshness, but also subtly dilute the deliberately concentrated cocktail and bring out its full flavor.
- White sugar on the rim of the glass adds a decorative touch to your cocktail, but also a very sweet taste with every sip.
