Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add the Angostura bitters. Muddle them together with a muddler or the back of a spoon until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Whiskey

    Pour the bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture in the glass.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add 3 ice cubes to the glass. You can use larger ice cubes for slower dilution.

  4. 4

    Stir the Cocktail

    Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon for about 15-20 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a gentle twist. Drop the peel into the glass as a garnish. Add the maraschino cherry on top as an additional garnish.
