    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling your serving glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.

    In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of Knob Creek Bourbon, 2 dashes of Angostura Aromatic Bitters, and 0.5 oz of Simple Syrup.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup) and stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

Serving

  1. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Discard the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the bourbon mixture into the glass.

  2. 5

    Garnish

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

  3. 6
