Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    Place the sugar cube in an old-fashioned glass. Add the two dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the sugar cube. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube until it dissolves slightly with the bitters.

  2. 2

    Add the Bourbon

    Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add a large ice cube or several smaller ones to the glass to chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry on top. You can also express the oils from the orange peel over the drink before adding the slice for extra flavor.
