Cocktail
Optional (for muddled sugar cube method)
Method
Prepare glass & sugar
If using simple syrup
Add 1/2 teaspoon simple syrup to an old-fashioned (rocks) glass. Add 3 dashes of Angostura bitters and stir gently to combine.
If using a sugar cube
Place the sugar cube in the old-fashioned glass. Add 3 dashes of Angostura bitters directly onto the cube and 2–3 drops of water. Muddle until the sugar is mostly dissolved and forms a slightly syrupy paste.
Build the cocktail
Add a large ice cube (or several large cubes) to the glass after stirring, then give one gentle stir to marry temperature without over-diluting.
Garnish & serve
Express the oils from an orange peel over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down 2–3 inches above the cocktail and giving it a firm twist so the oils spray onto the surface. Rub the peel around the glass rim and drop it into the drink as garnish.
Serve immediately. Optionally offer an extra dash of bitters on top or an additional orange twist for aroma.
