Cocktail

2 oz Bourbon1/4 oz Demerara simple syrup (1:1 demerara sugar to water)2 dashes Boardroom bitters1 piece Orange peel (for garnish)1 serving Large ice cube or several ice cubes

Method

Cocktail

Build and stir

Place a large old-fashioned glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice to chill, then discard the chilling ice. Add the demerara simple syrup (0.25 oz) to the chilled glass. Add 2 dashes of Boardroom bitters. Pour 2 oz of bourbon into the glass.

Add ice and stir

Add a large ice cube (or enough regular ice to fill the glass). Stir gently with a bar spoon for about 20–30 seconds (15–25 full revolutions) until the drink is well chilled and slightly diluted.

Garnish and serve

Express the oils from one orange peel over the surface of the drink by holding the peel skin-side down above the glass and giving it a quick snap to release the oils. Rub the peel around the rim of the glass, then drop it into the drink as a garnish. Serve immediately.
