1
Prepare the Glass
Place the sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass and add the bitters on top of the sugar. Add 1 teaspoon of water to the glass and muddle until the sugar is dissolved.
2
Mix the Cocktail
Add the bourbon to the glass with the muddled sugar and bitters. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, preferably one large cube for slow dilution.
4
Garnish
Express the orange zest over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a twist to release the oils. Drop the zest into the drink as a garnish.
