1
Prepare the Sugar
In a mixing glass, add 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
2
Add Bitters
Add 2 dashes of bitters onto the sugar. This will help dissolve the sugar.
3
Add Water
Pour 1 teaspoon of water into the mixing glass to help dissolve the sugar with the bitters.
4
Mix the Ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the sugar, bitters, and water together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
5
Add Whiskey
Pour 2 ounces of whiskey into the mixing glass with the muddled mixture.
6
Add Ice
Add 3 ice cubes to the mixing glass to chill the mixture.
7
Stir the Cocktail
Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients well.
8
Strain the Cocktail
Strain the mixture into a lowball glass filled with fresh ice.
9
Garnish
Twist a piece of orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then place it on the rim of the glass as a garnish.
