Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Take a lowball glass and place it on a flat surface.

2. 2

   Muddle the Sugar

   In the glass, add the sugar cube and douse it with 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.

3. 3

   Add Whiskey

   Pour 2 oz of Bourbon or Rye whiskey into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Add 3 ice cubes to the glass, allowing them to float on top of the whiskey.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Using a vegetable peeler or knife, take a slice of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release the oils. Drop the peel into the glass as a garnish. Finally, add a maraschino cherry for decoration.

6. 6

   Serve

   Stir gently to combine the ingredients, then serve immediately.
