For a clearer cocktail with a more pronounced bite, stir the ingredients with ice in a mixing glass instead of shaking. Experiment with different bourbons to find your preferred flavor profile. A higher-proof bourbon will add more intensity. If you don't have Grand Marnier, Cointreau or another high-quality orange liqueur can be substituted. Ensure the clementines are fresh and fragrant for the best zest and juice.
