Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Muddle the Ingredients
In an Old Fashioned glass, add the sugar cube and douse it with Angostura bitters. Then, add a teaspoon of water. Muddle these ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, preferably one large cube or sphere to minimize dilution.
Stir
Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon for about 10-15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
Garnish
Take a strip of orange peel and express the oils over the drink by gently twisting it. Drop the peel into the glass as garnish.
