Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by chilling an old-fashioned glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Old Forester Bourbon, 0.5 oz of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with 1 cup of ice. Stir the mixture for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink properly.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Empty the ice water from the chilled old-fashioned glass. Strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the prepared glass over fresh ice.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oil from an orange peel over the drink and drop it into the glass as a garnish.
