In a mixing glass, combine bourbon, Ouzo, freshly squeezed orange juice, honey syrup, Angostura bitters, and orange bitters. 2. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture until well chilled. 3. In a chilled double old-fashioned glass, place a large ice sphere or cube for an elegant touch. 4. Strain the cocktail mixture over the ice in the prepared glass. 5. Express the oil from an orange peel over the glass, then run the peel around the rim before dropping it into the drink. 6. Garnish with a piece of star anise resting atop the ice to add visual appeal and a hint of licorice aroma. 7. Serve immediately, encouraging your guests to enjoy the layers of flavor as they swirl together in each sip.
