Method
Cocktail
Chill glass (optional)
If you prefer a colder drink, place your cocktail glass (old-fashioned or rocks glass) in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink.
Combine ingredients
Add 2 oz bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a shaker or mixing glass.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.
Prepare serving glass
If you chilled your glass earlier, discard ice water or remove from freezer. Add a large ice cube or fresh ice to the rocks glass.
Strain
Strain the cocktail from the shaker into the prepared rocks glass over fresh ice using a Hawthorne or fine strainer.
Garnish and serve
Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils or drop a lemon wheel in. Optionally add a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately.
