1
Muddle the Sugar
In a mixing glass, place the sugar cube and douse it with the Angostura bitters. Muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved and forms a paste.
2
Add Whiskey
Pour in the whiskey over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
3
Mix with Ice
Add ice cubes to the mixing glass. Stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink slightly.
4
Prepare the Glass
Take an Old Fashioned glass (or any short tumbler) and add one large ice cube or a few smaller ice cubes, if preferred.
5
Strain and Garnish
Strain the whiskey mixture into the prepared glass over the ice. Finally, twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils and drop it into the glass as garnish.
