1
Prepare the Glass
Select a lowball or rocks glass for serving.
2
Muddle the Sugar
Place the sugar cube in the glass. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters over the sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube and bitters together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
3
Add Ice
Add 3 ice cubes to the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
4
Pour the Whiskey
Measure 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey and pour it over the ice cubes in the glass.
5
Garnish the Cocktail
Twist a piece of orange peel over the drink to release the oils, then drop the peel into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
6
Serve
Stir gently with a spoon to mix the ingredients slightly, then serve immediately.
