Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an old-fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters over it. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add the Rye

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

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add a large ice cube or several smaller cubes to the glass, filling it to the brim.

  4. 4

    Garnish with Orange Peel

    Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then place it in the glass as a garnish.

  5. 5

    Finish with Luxardo Cherry

    Drop the Luxardo cherry into the glass as a final touch to enhance the flavor.
