1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lowball glass and add a large ice cube or several smaller ones to it. This will chill the glass and keep your drink cold.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon or rye whiskey, simple syrup, and dashes of Angostura bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir gently for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the mixture.
3
Strain the Mixture
Using a strainer, pour the mixture from the mixing glass into the prepared lowball glass over the ice.
4
Garnish the Drink
Express the oils of the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a twist before dropping it in. Add a maraschino cherry as a garnish.
