Whiskey Cocktail
Method
Whiskey Cocktail
Chill glass
Place an old-fashioned glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and water while you prepare the drink to chill the glass.
Combine ingredients
In a mixing glass, add 2 oz Maker's Mark Bourbon, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Stir with ice
Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir gently for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 full stir strokes) until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.
Prepare glass
If you used ice and water to chill the serving glass, dump the water and any ice. Place one large ice cube into the chilled old-fashioned glass.
Strain and garnish
Strain the stirred whiskey mixture over the large ice cube in the serving glass. Express the orange peel over the drink by holding it skin-side down about 2–3 inches above the glass and giving it a firm twist to release oils, then rub the peel around the glass rim and drop it into the drink as a garnish.
