1
Prepare the Glass
Take an old-fashioned glass or a lowball glass and place it on a flat surface.
2
Add Sugar and Bitters
In the glass, add the simple syrup and the two dashes of Angostura bitters.
3
Muddle the Ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently mix the sugar and bitters together until well combined.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with a large ice cube or several smaller ones, enough to chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.
5
Pour the Whiskey
Measure out 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey and pour it over the ice in the glass.
6
Stir the Drink
Using a bar spoon, gently stir the mixture in the glass for about 10-15 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the drink.

7
Add Orange Peel
Take a strip of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release its essential oils, then place it in the glass.
8
Finish with Cherry
Add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
