Just because this is a fall menu item doesn’t mean we can’t have a little summer in our glass! This is a rare highball cocktail for the Runaway Anchor and does another unique thing; it has us shaking fruit slices in the shaker!
No need to muddle the orange slices; just make sure you shake really hard for 15 seconds or until you feel the ice is sufficiently broken up (you get a feel for it over time).
Top this with some form of soda water (Topo Chico is a nice option), and enjoy a little drop of sunshine before the colder months of the year are upon us!
Cheers!
