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.

    The balance of sweet and tart is perfect. I skipped the flaming step, and it was still delicious.
