Method

Preparation

1

Muddle the Sugar

In a rocks glass, place the sugar cube and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Muddle them together using a muddler or the back of a spoon until the sugar is dissolved.

2

Add Whiskey

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

3

Add Ice

Fill the glass with 4 ice cubes, allowing the whiskey to chill and dilute slightly.

4

Garnish with Orange Peel

Take a strip of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release its oils. Drop the peel into the glass as a garnish.

5

Optional Cherry Garnish

If desired, add a maraschino cherry on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
