1
Muddle Sugar and Bitters
In a mixing glass, add the sugar and dashes of bitters. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the sugar with the bitters until the sugar begins to dissolve.
2
Add Bourbon
Pour the bourbon into the mixing glass with the muddled sugar and bitters. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Add the ice cubes to the mixing glass. Stir the mixture for about 20-30 seconds to chill the drink and further dilute it.
4
Strain
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled rocks glass filled with one large ice cube or fresh ice if desired.

5
Prepare Orange Twist
Take a piece of orange peel and twist it over the glass to release the oils. Optionally, you can run the peel around the rim of the glass for added aroma.
6
Serve
Place the twisted orange peel on top of the drink as a garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your Old Fashioned!
