1
Prepare the Glass
Select a lowball glass or an Old Fashioned glass. If desired, chill the glass by filling it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Muddle Sugar and Bitters
In the prepared glass, place the sugar cube and add the Angostura bitters on top. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube until it dissolves slightly with the bitters.
3
Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
4
Add Ice
Add 4 ice cubes to the glass to chill the cocktail.
5
Stir
Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon to combine the ingredients and chill the drink further.
6
Garnish
Using a vegetable peeler or knife, cut a twist of orange peel. Squeeze the peel over the drink to release the oils, and then drop it into the glass. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry for garnish.
7
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic Old Fashioned cocktail.
