Method
Preparation
Muddle the Sugar
In an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top of it.
Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
Stir
Add a large ice cube or a few smaller ice cubes to the glass. Stir gently for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled.
Garnishing
Prepare the Garnish
Take a strip of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release its oils. Optionally, run the peel around the rim of the glass.
Add the Garnish
Drop the twisted orange peel into the drink and add a maraschino cherry on top for a classic finish.
