3 steps

Ingredients

1/2 ounce bourbon or rye
1/2 ounce Grand Marnier
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash lemon bitters
1 dash orange bitters
2 ounces Reed's Extra Ginger Brew or other ginger beer or ginger ale (chilled)
1 orange twist (optional)

Directions

1

Mix all the ingredients except the ginger beer in an ice-filled shaker or tall glass. Swirl briefly to chill and strain into a Champagne flute.
2

Top off with the chilled ginger beer (as cold as possible!). Note that ginger beers vary in strength; Reed's is very intense, so 2 ounces is plenty. With a weaker ginger beer or ginger ale, you might want 3 or 4 ounces.
3

Garnish with an orange twist and serve.
