Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    Place the sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass. Add the Angostura bitters onto the sugar cube and a few drops of water. Muddle them together until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Add Bourbon

    Pour the bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture in the glass.

  3. 3

    Stir

    Add a large ice cube or a few smaller ones, then stir gently for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and twisting it. Drop the peel into the glass as a garnish. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry on top.
