1
Muddle the Sugar
Place the sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass. Add two dashes of Angostura bitters directly onto the sugar cube.
2
Add Water
Add a few drops of water (just enough to help dissolve the sugar) onto the sugar cube. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube and mix it with the bitters and water until it is dissolved.
3
Add Whiskey
Pour in 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine.
4
Add Ice
Add 3 ice cubes to the glass. Stir the mixture gently again to chill and dilute the drink slightly.
5
Garnish
Express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the drink, then drop it into the glass. Finally, add a maraschino cherry on top as a garnish.
