Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by chilling a rocks glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon or rye whiskey, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters. Add ice cubes to the mixing glass.

  3. 3

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled and diluted.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Empty the ice water from your chilled rocks glass. Strain the whiskey mixture into the glass over fresh ice cubes.

  5. 5

    Garnish the Drink

    Express the oils from an orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a gentle twist. Drop the peel into the glass, then add a maraschino cherry on top.
