1
Muddle the Sugar
In an old-fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add the Angostura bitters on top. Add 1 teaspoon of water to help dissolve the sugar.
2
Dissolve the Sugar
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the sugar cube and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved.
3
Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters.
4
Add Ice
Add a large ice cube or several smaller ice cubes to the glass, allowing the bourbon to chill.
5
Garnish
Express the oils of the orange peel over the drink by gently twisting it, then drop it into the glass. Finish with a maraschino cherry on top.
6
Serve
Stir gently to combine the ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy your Old Fashioned.
