Ingredients for Bourbon Cocktail

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by selecting a rocks glass. Place it in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Buffalo Trace Bourbon, 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes, approximately 4 pieces, to ensure proper chilling and dilution.

  4. 4

    Stir the Cocktail

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Remove the rocks glass from the freezer or discard the ice water. Strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Twist an orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it in as a garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your Buffalo Trace Bourbon cocktail.
