Method
Cocktail
Chill glass and prepare ice
Place a rocks glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare ingredients. Prepare one large clear ice cube or several large cubes and set aside.
Combine ingredients
In a mixing glass, add 2 oz Don Julio Añejo tequila, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, 1 dash orange bitters, and 0.25 oz simple syrup.
Stir and dilute
Fill the mixing glass with plenty of ice and stir gently for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 strokes) until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.
Prepare glass
Discard ice or water from the chilled rocks glass. Place the large ice cube into the glass.
Strain
Strain the stirred cocktail over the large ice cube into the chilled rocks glass using a julep strainer or Hawthorne + fine strainer for a clean pour.
Garnish and aromatics
Express the orange peel over the drink by holding it skin-side down about 3–4 inches above the glass and giving it a firm pinch so the oils spray onto the surface. Rub the peel around the rim, then drop it into the drink as a garnish.
