Method

Mixing

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by chilling an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice water. Set aside while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey, 1 tsp of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Stir

    Add ice to the mixing glass and stir the mixture for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

Serving

  1. 4

    Prepare the Glass

    Discard the ice water from the old-fashioned glass and add a large ice cube or several smaller ice cubes to the glass.

  2. 5

    Strain and Pour

    Strain the chilled mixture from the mixing glass into the prepared old-fashioned glass over the ice.

  3. 6

    Garnish

    Twist a strip of orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry for garnish.
