Vegetable oil, for brushing

5 tablespoons turbinado sugar 

3 dashes bitters 

One 750-ml bottle bourbon whiskey 

1 liter club soda, cold

Directions

Special equipment:

  1. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
  2. Skewer the orange slices and the cherries, and brush on both sides with vegetable oil. Grill until charred on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes total. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.
