1
Prepare the glass
Take a lowball glass and place one sugar cube at the bottom.
2
Add bitters
Soak the sugar cube with 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Let it sit for a moment to absorb the bitters.
3
Muddle the ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the sugar cube and bitters together until the sugar has dissolved.
4
Add bourbon
Pour 2 oz of bourbon into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
5
Add ice
Add 3 ice cubes to the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
6
Garnish
Twist a piece of orange peel over the drink to release the oils, then drop it into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry as a garnish.
7
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic Old Fashioned cocktail.
