1
Muddle the Sugar
In an Old Fashioned glass, add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar slightly.
2
Add Bitters
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the muddled sugar in the glass.
3
Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
4
Mix the Ingredients
Stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon until the sugar is dissolved.
5
Add Ice
Place 3 ice cubes into the glass to chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.
6
Garnish
Take a slice of orange and twist it over the drink to release its oils. Drop the slice into the glass as a garnish.
