Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by chilling your glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Bourbon or Rye Whiskey, 0.5 oz of Simple Syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice and Stir

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

Serving

  1. 4

    Strain into the Glass

    Discard the ice water from your chilled glass. Using a strainer, pour the mixed cocktail into the glass over 2 fresh ice cubes.

  2. 5

    Garnish Your Cocktail

    Garnish with a slice of orange peel and a Maraschino cherry on top. Optionally, add an orange twist for an aromatic finish.
