Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an old-fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add two dashes of Angostura bitters on top. Muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Whiskey

    Pour 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled sugar and bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add 3 ice cubes to the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients and chill the drink.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a twist. Then, drop the peel into the drink as a garnish. Finally, add a cocktail cherry for an additional garnish.
