1
Muddle the Sugar
In a mixing glass or an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube. Add the Angostura bitters on top of the sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube until it dissolves slightly with the bitters.
2
Add Whiskey
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey into the mixing glass with the muddled sugar and bitters. Stir gently to combine.
3
Prepare the Glass
In an Old Fashioned glass, add 3 ice cubes. If you'd like, you can also use a large ice cube to reduce dilution.
4
Strain the Mixture
Strain the whiskey mixture over the ice cubes in the glass, ensuring you leave any undissolved sugar behind in the mixing glass.
5
Garnish
Express the oil from the orange peel by twisting it over the drink. Drop the peel into the glass as a garnish. Add a maraschino cherry on top for an added touch.
