Place a rocks glass or coupe in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

Add bitters and ice
Add 1 dash Angostura bitters and 4 ice cubes to the mixing glass.

Stir
Stir the mixture gently for 20–30 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted. If you prefer a colder drink, stir a bit longer.

Prepare glass
Discard ice or ice water from the chilled serving glass and, if desired, add a single large ice cube to the glass for a rocks-style B & B.

Garnish

Express citrus oils
Take one lemon or orange twist and hold it over the drink, skin-side down. Give it a firm twist to express the citrus oils across the surface of the cocktail.

Garnish and serve
Rub the twist lightly around the rim of the glass (optional) and drop it into the drink or rest it on the rim. Serve immediately.
