1
Prepare the Glass
Take an Old Fashioned glass or a short tumbler and place it on a flat surface.
2
Add Sugar and Bitters
In the glass, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 2 dashes of bitters. If desired, you can also use simple syrup instead of sugar.
3
Muddle Ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar begins to dissolve.
4
Add Whiskey
Pour 2 ounces of whiskey into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
5
Add Ice
Add 3 ice cubes to the glass. If you prefer, you can use a large ice cube or sphere for slower dilution.
6
Stir the Drink
Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon for about 10-15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
7
Garnish
Take a strip of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release the oils. Then, drop the peel into the glass as a garnish.
