Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Chill an Old Fashioned glass by filling it with ice water. Let it sit while you prepare the cocktail.

    In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon whiskey, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain the Mixture

    Discard the ice water from the chilled Old Fashioned glass and strain the mixed cocktail into the glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink, then drop it in as a garnish. Add a maraschino cherry on top for an extra touch.
