1
Prepare the Glass
Start by placing a lowball glass (also known as an Old Fashioned glass) on your bar or countertop.
2
Add Sugar
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the bottom of the glass.
3
Add Bitters
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters over the sugar.
4
Muddle
Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
5
Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
6
Stir
Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients.
7
Add Ice
Add one large ice cube or several smaller ice cubes to the glass.
8
Garnish
Take a slice of orange and express the oils by gently twisting it over the drink. Then, drop the slice into the glass as a garnish.
