Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Take an old-fashioned glass and place it on a stable surface.

  2. 2

    Muddle Sugar and Bitters

    Place the sugar cube in the glass, add the Angostura bitters, and pour the teaspoon of water over the sugar. Muddle these ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved.

  3. 3

    Add Bourbon

    Pour 2 ounces of Old Forester Bourbon into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with large ice cubes to chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.

  5. 5

    Stir the Cocktail

    Using a bar spoon, gently stir the cocktail for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a light twist. Then drop the peel into the drink. Finally, add the maraschino cherry for garnish.
