River Styx

Ingredients:

Garnish: orange peel

Glassware: Old-fashioned

Yield

one cocktail

Method

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir. Strain over a large rock of clear ice, express an orange peel, and garnish.

I gave this one superpowers by lining a spent bottle with food-grade beeswax, batching the cocktail and resting it in the bottle for about six weeks until it imparted a soft but powerful scent that rounds out the edges of this boozy cocktail.
