1 Combine: Pour the Scotch, Amaretto, fresh orange juice, and orange bitters into a rocks glass over the large ice sphere.
2 Spice: Add the pinch of cayenne pepper directly onto the ice.
3 Incorporate: Stir gently for 10–15 seconds to chill the spirits and distribute the spice without over-diluting.
