Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by chilling your old-fashioned glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Willett Pot Still Bourbon, 0.5 oz of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Stir the Mixture

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

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Empty the ice water from the chilled old-fashioned glass and strain the mixed ingredients into the glass over one large ice cube.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oils from an orange twist over the drink and drop it in. Add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
