1
Muddle the Sugar
In an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube at the bottom. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the sugar cube.
2
Add Water
Add a few drops of plain water to the sugar and bitters mixture to help dissolve the sugar.
3
Muddle Together
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the sugar, bitters, and water together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
4
Add Whiskey
Pour 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey into the glass with the muddled mixture.
5
Add Ice
Add 3 ice cubes to the glass, gently stirring to combine the whiskey with the muddled mixture.
6
Garnish
Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a twist. Add the orange peel strip and a maraschino cherry for garnish.
7
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic Old Fashioned cocktail.
