Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an Old Fashioned glass, add the sugar cube and dashes of Angostura bitters. Add the teaspoon of water to help dissolve the sugar. Muddle with a muddler or the back of a spoon until the sugar is mostly dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Bourbon

    Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the muddled sugar mixture in the glass.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add 3 ice cubes to the glass, allowing them to chill the drink.

  4. 4

    Stir

    Gently stir the mixture for about 20 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the drink.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Garnish the Drink

    Express the oils from the orange twist over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a light twist. Then add the orange twist into the glass along with the maraschino cherry for garnish.
