1
Muddle the Sugar
In an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters over the sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved.
2
Add Ice
Add 4 ice cubes to the glass with the muddled sugar and bitters mixture. This will help chill the drink.
3
Pour the Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the ice cubes in the glass.
4
Garnish
Express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the drink by twisting it and then drop it into the glass. Finally, add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
