Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling your glass. Fill it with ice water and set it aside while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Old Forester Bourbon, 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters, and 0.5 oz of Simple Syrup.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add ice cubes to the mixing glass and stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds. This will chill the drink and dilute it slightly.

  4. 4

    Prepare Serving Glass

    Empty the chilled glass of ice water, then strain the mixed drink into the glass, leaving out the ice from the mixing glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a twist. Then drop the peel into the drink along with a maraschino cherry for garnish.
