Method

Cocktail

1

Chill glass

Place an Old Fashioned (rocks) glass in the freezer for several minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink to cool it; discard ice water before pouring.

2

Measure and combine

In a mixing glass or shaker filled with ice, add 2 oz Booker's Bourbon, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.

3

Stir

Stir the mixture briskly for about 20–30 seconds (10–15 full turns) until well-chilled and slightly diluted. Use a bar spoon and keep the motion smooth to avoid over-aeration.

4

Prepare glass

Remove the chilled glass from the freezer or discard the ice water. Place one large clear ice cube into the glass.

5

Strain

Strain the chilled cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube.

6

Garnish

Express the oils of an orange peel over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down above the glass and giving it a firm twist so oils spray onto the surface. Rim the glass with the peel, then drop it into the drink as garnish.

7

Serve

Serve immediately. Advise the drinker that this is a high-proof spirit-forward cocktail; sip slowly.
