1
Prepare the Glass
Take an Old Fashioned glass or a short tumbler and place it on a stable surface.
2
Muddle the Sugar
Place the sugar cube in the glass. Add 1 teaspoon of water and 2 dashes of bitters over the sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube until it dissolves completely with the bitters and water.
3
Add Ice
Place 3 ice cubes into the glass over the muddled sugar mixture.
4
Pour Bourbon
Measure 2 ounces of bourbon and pour it over the ice in the glass.
5
Garnish with Orange
Take a slice of orange and twist it over the drink to release the oils. Then, drop the slice into the glass as a garnish.
6
Stir and Serve
Gently stir the drink to combine the flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy your Old Fashioned!
