1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lowball glass or an old-fashioned glass and place it on a stable surface.
2
Add Sugar and Bitters
In the glass, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
3
Muddle the Ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
4
Add Bourbon
Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it’s nearly full.
6
Stir the Cocktail
Using a bar spoon or a regular spoon, gently stir the mixture for about 10-15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
7
Garnish with Orange Peel
Take a piece of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release the oils. Then, either drop it into the drink or place it on the rim as a garnish.
