1
Prepare the Glass
Take an old-fashioned glass and place it on a clean and stable surface.
2
Add Sugar and Bitters
In the glass, add 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
3
Muddle the Ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved, creating a paste at the bottom of the glass.
4
Add the Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of Woodford Reserve Bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
5
Add Ice Cubes
Place 3 ice cubes into the glass to chill the drink.
6
Stir the Drink
Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 20 seconds to combine the ingredients.
7
Garnish with Cherry and Orange Peel
Take a fresh cherry and drop it into the glass. Then, twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, and place the peel on the rim of the glass as garnish.
