Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an old-fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters over it. Muddle the sugar and bitters together with a muddler or the back of a spoon until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Bourbon

    Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture in the glass.

  3. 3

    Stir

    Add ice cubes to the glass and stir gently for about 30 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.

Garnishing

  1. 4

    Garnish the Drink

    Express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and gently squeezing it. Then drop the peel into the glass. Finally, add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
