1
Muddle the base
Place the sugar cube in a rocks glass. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters and 0.25 oz of water. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube and mix it with the bitters and water until fully dissolved.
2
Add the bourbon
Pour 2 oz of bourbon into the glass. Stir gently to combine with the bitters-sugar mixture.
3
Add ice
Add one large ice cube (or sphere) to the glass to chill the drink without over-diluting it.

4
Express and garnish with orange peel
Take a strip of orange peel and gently squeeze it over the glass to express the oils. Rub the peel along the rim of the glass, then drop it into the drink as garnish.
