1
Muddle the Sugar
In a glass, place the sugar cube and add 1 teaspoon of water. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube until it dissolves.
2
Add Bitters
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the glass with the dissolved sugar.
3
Pour the Whiskey
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
4
Stir the Mixture
Stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon or a regular spoon until combined and chilled slightly.
5
Add Ice
Add a large ice cube or a few smaller ones to the glass to chill the drink further.
6
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a twist of orange peel. Express the oils over the drink by gently twisting the peel before placing it in the glass. Top the drink with a maraschino cherry.
