Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Place a rocks glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Simple Syrup

    If you don't have simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then let cool.

Mixing the Drink

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Ezra Brooks Bourbon, 0.5 oz of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  2. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (approximately 3 pieces) and stir gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

  3. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Remove the rocks glass from the freezer or ice water. Using a fine strainer (or just a regular strainer), pour the mixture into the chilled glass over fresh ice if desired.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Add Orange Peel

    Twist a fresh orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass.

  2. 7

    Finish with Cherry

    Garnish with a maraschino cherry placed on top or on the rim of the glass.
