Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an old-fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top. Muddle the sugar and bitters together using a muddler or the back of a spoon until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Whiskey

    Pour 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, preferably large ones, to chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Stir the mixture gently to combine all ingredients. Finally, twist an orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry on top for a classic garnish.
