Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add one teaspoon of water. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube until it dissolves.

  2. 2

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the dissolved sugar and stir gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Pour the Bourbon

    Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the sugar mixture in the glass.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Add one large ice cube or several smaller cubes to the glass to chill the drink.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Twist a slice of orange peel over the drink to release the oils, then drop it into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry for an extra garnish.

  6. 6

    Stir and Serve

    Give the drink a gentle stir to combine all the ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy your Old Fashioned!
