Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar and Bitters

    In an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube. Add the Angostura bitters on top of the sugar cube and a teaspoon of water. Muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Bourbon

    Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture in the glass.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with a cup of ice cubes, ensuring the bourbon mixture is chilled.

  4. 4

    Garnish with Orange Peel

    Take a strip of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release the oils. Then, add it to the glass as garnish.

  5. 5

    Stir and Serve

    Give the drink a gentle stir to combine the ingredients, and serve immediately with a straw or stirrer if desired.
