Muddle the Sugar
In a mixing glass, place the sugar cube and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top. Muddle them together until the sugar is dissolved.

Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into the mixing glass with the muddled sugar and bitters.
3
Add Ice
Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to chill your mixture.
4
Stir the Mixture
Stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon for about 30 seconds until well chilled.
5
Strain and Serve
Strain the cocktail into a lowball glass filled with ice.
6
Garnish
Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
