1 oz Scotch (Dewer's)
1 Tbsp Orange Juice
1/2 Oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1/2 Tsp Triple Sec (LeRoux)
1/4 Tsp Powdered Sugar
Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Add a twist of lemon peel.

After trying sweet drinks for a couple of days, this one tasted like a "real" cocktail should. It had a pleasant smoky flavor that meshed well with the other ingredients. The taste was more complex than most cocktails I've tried.
Even my wife, who doesn't care for Scotch whiskey, liked it!
Definitely a keeper on the "do it again" list.
