1
Muddle the Sugar
In an Old Fashioned glass, add 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
2
Add Bitters
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the glass with the sugar mixture.
3
Add Whiskey
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey into the glass. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Add 4 ice cubes to the glass. Stir again gently to chill the drink without diluting it too much.
5
Garnish
Using a vegetable peeler or knife, cut a twist of orange or lemon peel. Express the oils over the drink by holding the peel over the glass and gently squeezing it, then drop it into the cocktail as a garnish.
