Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Take an old fashioned glass and place the sugar cube at the bottom.

  2. 2

    Add Bitters

    Dash Angostura bitters over the sugar cube, allowing it to soak in.

  3. 3

    Muddle

    Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to press the sugar cube and bitters together until the sugar begins to dissolve.

  4. 4

    Add Bourbon

    Pour in 2 oz of bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.

  5. 5

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, ensuring that the bourbon is chilled.

  6. 6

    Garnish

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Stir gently to combine the ingredients and serve immediately.
