    Chill the Glass

    Start by chilling your glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Old Forester Bourbon, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, and 1 tsp of simple syrup.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (around 4 cubes) to chill the mixture thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well combined and chilled.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Glass

    Empty the ice water from your glass and strain the mixture into the chilled glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a strip of orange peel. Twist the peel over the drink to release the oils before placing it in the glass.
