½ ounce crème de cacao, preferably Tempus Fugit
½ ounce ancho chile liqueur

Combine the ingredients, except the garnish, in a mixing glass three-quarters filled with ice. Stir until chilled, about 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe. Express the orange twist over the surface and drop it into the drink.
