Method
Preparation
Prepare the Simple Syrup
If you don't have simple syrup ready, combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it cool before using.
Gather Ingredients
Ensure that you have all your ingredients ready and measured: whiskey, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, Angostura bitters, and ice cubes.
Mixing the Cocktail
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of whiskey, 0.5 oz of simple syrup, 0.75 oz of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Add Ice
Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes until it is about three-quarters full.
Shake the Mixture
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Strain into Glass
Take a chilled cocktail glass and strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass, leaving the ice behind.
Garnishing
Add Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lemon wheel on the rim of the glass and a maraschino cherry dropped into the drink for an extra touch.
