Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Select a rocks glass (old fashioned glass). If you prefer a slightly chilled glass, add ice to the glass to cool it while you prepare the cocktail, then discard the ice before serving.
Build or stir
Add 2 oz bourbon, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a mixing glass with plenty of ice. Stir briskly for 20–30 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted (about 20% dilution is typical for spirit-forward cocktails).
Strain
Discard the chilling ice from the serving glass (if used). Strain the chilled cocktail into the rocks glass over a large ice cube or sphere.
