Method
Cocktail
Add 2 oz Maker's Mark bourbon, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters into a mixing glass or a shaker without ice.
Fill the mixing glass with plenty of ice and stir the mixture gently for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted (stirring chills and dilutes without bruising the spirit).
Discard the ice or water from the chilled Old Fashioned glass and place a single large ice cube (or fresh ice) into the glass.
Strain the chilled bourbon mixture over the large ice cube in the glass.
Express the oils from an orange twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down over the glass and giving it a firm squeeze, then rub the rim with the twist and drop it into the drink as garnish.
Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the balance of bourbon, bitters, and light sweetness.
