Preparation Steps
Prepare the Glass
Start by chilling an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, simple syrup, and angostura bitters.
Add Ice and Stir
Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir well for about 30-45 seconds until the mixture is chilled.
Prepare the Glass Again
Discard the ice water from the old-fashioned glass and add a large ice cube or several smaller cubes to the glass.
Strain the Cocktail
Strain the chilled bourbon mixture into the prepared glass over the ice.
Garnish
Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink and then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
