1
Prepare the Glass
Take a short glass or an old-fashioned glass and add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the bottom.
2
Add Bitters
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters over the sugar.
3
Muddle Ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar begins to dissolve.
4
Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, preferably one large cube or sphere for slow dilution.
6
Stir
Stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.

Prepare the Garnish
Take an orange piece (a slice or twist) and twist the peel over the drink to release the oils, then drop it into the glass.
