Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Select a short glass or an old-fashioned glass. Place the sugar cube at the bottom of the glass.

  2. 2

    Add Bitters

    Dash the Angostura bitters over the sugar cube and add a few drops of water to help dissolve it.

  3. 3

    Muddle the Ingredients

    Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the sugar cube and bitters together until the sugar has dissolved.

  4. 4

    Add Bourbon

    Pour in 2 oz of Woodford Reserve Bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.

  5. 5

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with a large ice cube or several smaller ice cubes to chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Twist the strip of orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass. Add a cherry on top for garnish.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Stir gently to combine the ingredients and enjoy your Woodford Reserve.
