Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Muddle the Sugar
In an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add the dashes of Angostura bitters. Muddle them together with a muddler or the back of a spoon until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Add Whiskey
Pour the bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
Add Ice
Add the ice cubes to the glass. You can use one large ice cube for slower dilution or several smaller cubes.
Stir
Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon or a regular spoon until well combined and chilled.
Garnish
Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then place it in the glass. Add the maraschino cherry as a garnish on top.
