Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar and Bitters

    In an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Add 1 teaspoon of water as well. Muddle the mixture gently with a muddler or the back of a spoon until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add the Bourbon

    Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with one large ice cube or several smaller cubes, depending on your preference.

  4. 4

    Stir the Cocktail

    Gently stir the mixture for about 15 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the drink.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the drink by holding the peel over the glass and giving it a slight twist. Drop the peel into the glass as a garnish. Add a maraschino cherry on top for additional garnish.
