1
Muddle the Sugar
In a lowball glass, place the sugar cube and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters directly onto it.
2
Add Water
Add a few drops of water to the sugar and bitters mixture to help dissolve the sugar.
3
Muddle Together
Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush and mix the sugar, bitters, and water until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
4
Add Whiskey
Pour in 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled mixture.
5
Add Ice
Add 2-3 ice cubes to the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without diluting too much.
6
Garnish
Take a strip of orange peel, twist it over the drink to release its oils, and drop it into the glass. Optionally, garnish with a maraschino cherry.
7
Serve
Enjoy your Old Fashioned cocktail responsibly!
