Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by chilling an old fashioned glass. You can do this by placing the glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes or filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.
- 2
Mixing the Ingredients
In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon or rye whiskey, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters. Add a handful of ice cubes to the mixing glass.
- 3
Stirring
Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink. You want it well mixed but not overly diluted.
- 4
Strain into Glass
Remove the chilled old fashioned glass from the freezer or discard the ice water. Strain the mixed drink into the glass over a large ice cube or several smaller ones.
- 5
Garnish
Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a gentle twist. Then, drop the peel into the drink. Finish by adding the maraschino cherry on top.
