Stir to mix fully, then add plenty of cubed ice. Top with the lemon tonic water and stir to combine. Finish by spritzing the orange peel over the top and sides of the glass. Then, feed the peel into the glass around the ice creating a spiral effect. Spritzing the orange peel over the glass releases the essential oils of the orange, which gives the drink it’s flavour and aroma.
