1
Chill the Glass
Begin by chilling your glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit for a few minutes.
2
Add Ice
Once the glass is chilled, discard the ice water and add 3 ice cubes to the glass.
3
Pour the Bourbon
Measure 2 ounces of Old Forester Bourbon and pour it over the ice in the glass.

4
Add Orange Twist (Optional)
If desired, take a piece of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release the oils. Drop it into the glass.
5
Add Bitters (Optional)
For added complexity, add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the drink.

6
Serve
Your Old Forester is now ready to be enjoyed. Sip slowly and appreciate the flavors.
