Burnt Orange Toddy
(courtesy of Todd Thompson, bartender, Rapscallion Seafood House & Bar, in Reno. Serves 1)
2 tablespoons local Churchill Vineyards brandy
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier orange liqueur
Hot water
Orange peel
In a mug, mix brandy, Grand Marnier, and hot water. Cut an orange peel about the size of a quarter, then light a match. Squeeze and pass orange zest through flame, causing a small flaming effect. Add zest to drink, giving toddy a nice burnt-orange sheen on top.
