Glass preparation
Chill an old-fashioned / rocks glass by filling it with ice and setting aside while you measure ingredients.
Combine ingredients
In a mixing glass or shaker without ice, pour 2 oz Zacapa 23, add 0.25 oz simple syrup and 3 dashes Angostura bitters.
Stir and chill
Remove ice from the chilled rocks glass. Fill the mixing glass with large ice (or standard ice), then stir the mixture for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted (should feel cold to the hand and slightly viscous).
Strain and serve
Place a single large ice cube into the chilled rocks glass. Strain the stirred drink over the large ice cube.
Garnish
Express the oils of one piece of fresh orange peel over the drink by holding the peel over the glass skin-side down and giving it a quick twist. Rub the peel around the rim, then drop it into the drink as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy slowly to savor the rum's rich caramel, vanilla and toasted notes.
