Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass (optional bourbon rinse)

If using the bourbon rinse: pour 0.25 oz bourbon into the rocks glass, swirl to coat the inside thoroughly, then discard any excess (or keep if you prefer). This adds aromatic depth.

2

Combine ingredients

In a mixing glass or short shaker, add 0.25 oz simple syrup, 3 dashes Angostura bitters and 1 dash chocolate bitters. Pour in 2 oz bourbon.

3

Stir and chill

Add enough ice to the mixing glass to fill it. Stir gently but steadily for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full rotations) until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted — the outside of the glass should feel cold and a small amount of dilution evident.

4

Prepare serving glass

Place a single large ice cube into a rocks glass.

5

Strain and finish

Strain the chilled cocktail over the large ice cube in the prepared rocks glass.

6

Garnish

Express the oils of one orange peel over the surface of the drink by holding the peel skin-side down about 2–3 inches above the glass and giving it a firm squeeze. Rub the rim of the glass with the peel, then drop it into the drink. Add a maraschino cherry if desired.

7

Serve

Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the interplay of chocolate and aromatic bitters with the bourbon.
