Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    Place the sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass. Add 2 dashes of 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.

  2. 2

    Add the Bourbon

    Pour 2 ounces of Woodford Reserve Bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture in the glass.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with large ice cubes. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Twist a slice of orange peel over the glass to release the oils and then drop it into the drink. Add a maraschino cherry as a garnish on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Your Woodford Reserve cocktail is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve immediately and savor the flavors.
