Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling your cocktail glass. Fill it with ice water and set it aside while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 1 oz of Dickel 13 yr, 1 oz of Elijah Craig Straight Rye, and 1 oz of Jim Beam Black Extra Aged.

  3. 3

    Add Bitters and Syrup

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters and 0.5 oz of Simple Syrup to the mixing glass.

  4. 4

    Add Ice and Stir

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup) and stir gently for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the mixture.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Glass

    Empty the ice water from your chilled cocktail glass and strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the chilled glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Express the oils from 1 piece of orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a gentle twist, then drop it into the drink as a garnish.
