1
Muddle the Sugar
In an old fashioned glass, place the sugar cube at the bottom. Add the Angostura bitters on top of the sugar cube, followed by 1 teaspoon of water. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube until it dissolves.
2
Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the muddled sugar mixture in the glass.
3
Add Ice
Add 4 ice cubes to the glass to chill the cocktail.
4
Garnish
Take a piece of orange peel and twist it over the glass to release its oils. Then, drop the peel into the glass as a garnish.
5
Stir and Serve
Gently stir the cocktail to combine the flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy your classic Old Fashioned.
