Bitter Orange Kindler

December 1965
    Not, presumably, as in “kindler, gentler,” but rather in the sense of a fire-starter, or “arouser.” Especially considering the title of the piece this recipe comes from: “Merrymakers.”

    In a tall glass combine 2 ounces each of triple sec and Campari bitters with 3 cubes of ice. Fill the glass with chilled quinine water and stir to blend. Garnish with a strip of orange peel.
