Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by selecting a lowball glass (also known as an Old Fashioned glass).

  2. 2

    Add Ice

    Place 2 ice cubes in the glass. This will help chill the drink as you mix the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey, 1 tsp of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  4. 4

    Stir

    Stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon for about 20-30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink slightly.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared lowball glass over the ice cubes.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the drink and drop it in. Finally, add a maraschino cherry on top as a garnish.
