    In a mixing glass, combine 2 ounces of Old Forester 1920 bourbon, 0.5 ounces of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes, ensuring that the ingredients are well-chilled.

  4. 4

    Stir

    Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the chilled glass, making sure to leave the ice behind.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by twisting it, then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
