Prepare the Glass
Start by placing a sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass (or rocks glass).
2
Add Bitters
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters onto the sugar cube.
3
Muddle
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the sugar cube and bitters together until the sugar starts to dissolve.
4
Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with 5 ice cubes.
6
Stir
Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients and chill the drink.
7
Garnish
Twist a piece of orange peel over the drink to release the oils, then drop it into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry for garnish.
