Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters over the sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the sugar cube, allowing it to absorb the bitters.

  2. 2

    Add Whiskey

    Pour 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add 3 ice cubes to the glass, allowing them to chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, gently stir the mixture for about 10-15 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the drink.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Twist a piece of orange peel over the drink to release the oils, then drop it into the glass. Finally, add a maraschino cherry on top as a garnish.
