Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an old-fashioned glass, add the sugar and bitters. Muddle them together using a muddler or the back of a spoon until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Bourbon

    Pour the bourbon into the glass over the muddled sugar mixture.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with a large ice cube or several smaller ice cubes, stirring gently to chill the drink.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Using a vegetable peeler or knife, cut a strip of orange peel. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, and then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
