1
Muddle Sugar
Place the sugar cube in an old-fashioned glass. Add two dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the sugar.
2
Add Water
Add a few drops of plain water (just enough to dissolve the sugar) and muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved.
3
Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture in the glass.
4
Stir
Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
5
Add Ice
Add one large ice cube or a few smaller ice cubes to the glass.
6
Garnish
Using a vegetable peeler, cut a twist from the orange peel. Squeeze the twist over the drink to release the oils, then drop it into the glass as garnish.
