1
Chill an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice and setting aside while you prepare the drink (optional).
2
Add 2 oz Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon to a mixing glass or a separate jigger-measuring vessel.
3
Add 0.25 oz simple syrup to the bourbon.
4
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the mixing glass.
5
Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir gently for 20–30 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted (about 15–20 full stir strokes).
6
Discard the ice from the chilled old-fashioned glass and place one large ice cube (or several large ice cubes) into the glass.
7
Strain the stirred bourbon mixture over the large ice cube in the old-fashioned glass using a julep strainer or hawthorne strainer.
8
Express the orange peel over the drink: hold the peel with the outside facing down over the glass and give it a firm twist to release the oils, then wipe the peel along the rim and drop it into the glass as garnish.
9
Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the nuances of Blanton's single-barrel bourbon.
