Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by chilling an Old Fashioned glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of bourbon, 0.5 oz of turbinado sugar syrup, and 2 dashes of bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to chill the mixture.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Glass Again

    Discard the ice water from the chilled Old Fashioned glass and strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the prepared glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Express the oils from a strip of orange peel over the drink, then place the peel in the glass as a garnish.
