Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Start by chilling your glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass filled with ice, pour in 2 oz of Basil Hayden's Bourbon, 0.5 oz of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Glass

    Empty the ice water from your chilled glass and strain the bourbon mixture into it.

  5. 5

    Garnish the Drink

    Twist an orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
