Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by chilling an Old Fashioned glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of bourbon, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, and 1 tsp of simple syrup.

  3. 3

    Mix the Drink

    Add ice to the mixing glass and stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds or until well chilled.

Serving

  1. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Discard the ice water from the chilled Old Fashioned glass. Strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the prepared glass over a large ice cube or several smaller cubes.

  2. 5

    Garnish the Cocktail

    Express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the drink by gently twisting it and then drop it into the glass. Finally, add a maraschino cherry for garnish.
