1
Chill glass
If desired, place a rocks glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice and water to chill while you prepare the drink.
2
Measure and combine
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Buffalo Trace bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.
3
Add ice and shake
Add a cup of ice to the shaker (enough to fill). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds, until the shaker is cold to the touch and the ingredients are well-chilled and slightly diluted.
4
Prepare glass
Discard ice/water from the chilled rocks glass if you used it. Add one large ice cube or ice sphere to the glass (or leave several smaller cubes).
5
Strain
Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube, using the shaker's strainer and a fine mesh strainer if available to catch small shards of ice and pulp.
6
Garnish and finish
Express the oils of a lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down above the glass and giving it a quick squeeze, then rub the peel around the rim and drop it into the drink as garnish.
7
Serve immediately. Enjoy responsibly.
