Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube. Add the Angostura bitters onto the sugar cube. Muddle them together until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with 4 ice cubes. This will help to chill the drink as you prepare it.

  3. 3

    Pour the Bourbon

    Measure 2 ounces of bourbon and pour it over the ice in the glass.

  4. 4

    Stir the Cocktail

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients and chill the drink further.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Take a piece of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release the oils. Then drop the twist into the glass as a garnish.
