Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Cocktail Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Glass
Take an Old Fashioned glass (or rocks glass) and place it on a stable surface.
- 2
Add Ice
Fill the glass with large ice cubes to the rim. This helps keep the drink cold without diluting it too quickly.
- 3
Add Whiskey
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey over the ice in the glass.
- 4
Add Simple Syrup
Add 0.5 ounces of simple syrup to the whiskey. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can adjust the quantity to taste.
- 5
Add Bitters
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the mixture in the glass. This adds depth to the flavor.
- 6
Stir the Mixture
Use a bar spoon or a regular spoon to gently stir the mixture for about 15-20 seconds. This helps chill and combine the ingredients.
- 7
Garnish
Express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the drink by gently twisting it. Then place the peel in the glass as a garnish. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry for extra flavor.
