1
Muddle the Sugar and Bitters
In an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add the Angostura bitters on top. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar and bitters together until the sugar has dissolved.
2
Add Water
Pour in 1 teaspoon of water into the glass and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3
Add Whiskey
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey into the glass over the muddled sugar mixture.
4
Add Ice
Add one large ice cube or several smaller cubes to the glass to chill the drink.
5
Stir the Mixture
Gently stir the mixture in the glass for about 20-30 seconds to combine the flavors and chill the drink further.
6
Garnish
Express the oils of a slice of orange peel over the drink by gently twisting it and then place it in the glass. Add a maraschino cherry for additional garnish.

7
Serve
Enjoy your Old Fashioned cocktail straight up or on the rocks, as preferred. Optionally, you can garnish with an additional slice of orange peel and a cocktail cherry for an extra touch.
