1
Muddle the Sugar
Place the sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass. Add two dashes of Angostura bitters over the sugar cube.
2
Add Water
Add a few drops of water to help dissolve the sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the sugar cube until it dissolves.
3
Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
4
Add Ice
Add 4 ice cubes to the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
5
Garnish
Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
