1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by placing a sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters directly onto the sugar cube.
2
Muddle the Ingredients
Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube and bitters together, creating a paste at the bottom of the glass.
3
Add Whiskey
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes. You can use one large ice cube or several smaller ones, depending on your preference.
5
Garnish
Twist a strip of orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry for garnish.
6
Serve
Stir gently to combine all ingredients and serve immediately.
