Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an Old Fashioned glass, add the Demerara sugar and a few dashes of Angostura bitters. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the sugar and bitters together until the sugar begins to dissolve.

  2. 2

    Add the Scotch

    Pour 2 oz of 12-year Glenfiddich scotch into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.

  3. 3

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 15-20 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the drink slightly.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Add one large ice cube or several smaller ones into the glass to chill the drink further.

  5. 5

    Garnish

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