1
Prepare the Glass
Start by placing an Old Fashioned glass or a short tumbler on a flat surface.
2
Add Sugar and Bitters
Place the sugar cube in the glass. Add two dashes of Angostura bitters directly onto the sugar cube.
3
Muddle Ingredients
Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube and bitters together, forming a paste at the bottom of the glass.
4
Add Whiskey
Pour 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
5
Add Ice
Add 3 ice cubes to the glass, allowing them to float in the whiskey.
6
Garnish the Cocktail
Twist a piece of orange peel over the glass to release the oils, then drop it into the drink. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry for garnish.
7
Serve
Stir gently to combine the ingredients and serve immediately.
