   In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Michter's Bourbon, 0.5 oz of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice.

   Stir the Cocktail

   Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture in the mixing glass for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

   Discard the ice water from your chilled glass. Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass over fresh ice cubes.

   Garnish and Serve
