Method

Syrup

1

Make the turbinado syrup: combine 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar and 1 tablespoon hot water in a small bowl or cup. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Let cool slightly. (Can be made ahead and refrigerated.)

Cocktail

2

Add the syrup, bitters, and cherry: in a rocks glass, add 1 tablespoon turbinado syrup, 3 dashes Angostura bitters, 2 dashes orange bitters, and the filthy black cherry. Muddle gently just enough to break the cherry and release a little juice and flavor — do not over-muddle into a paste.

3

Add bourbon and ice: Pour 2 oz Maker's Mark bourbon into the glass. Add one large ice cube (or 2–3 large cubes) to chill without over-diluting.

4

Stir: Using a bar spoon, stir the drink 20–30 full rotations (about 20–30 seconds) until the glass is well chilled and the syrup is integrated, achieving slight dilution and a silky texture.

5

Express the orange peel

Hold the orange peel over the glass skin-side down and give it a firm twist to express the oils over the surface of the drink. Then rub the peel's outside edge on the glass rim to transfer aroma, and drop the peel into the glass.

6

Finish and serve: Give the drink one more quick gentle stir to incorporate the expressed oils. Serve immediately with the cherry in the glass.
