Ingredients
2 oz Bourbon or Rye Whiskey
1 White Sugar Cube (or 1/2 tsp sugar)
2-3 dashes Angostura Bitters
1 splash Water or Club Soda
Large ice cube
Orange peel for garnish
Maraschino cherry (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Place the sugar cube in a rocks glass and saturate it with the bitters and a splash of water.
Step 2: Muddle the sugar until it is mostly dissolved into a thick paste.
Step 3: Add the whiskey to the glass and stir briefly to combine with the sugar mixture.
Step 4: Add a large ice cube to the glass and stir gently for 30 seconds to chill and dilute.
Step 5: Express the oils from the orange peel over the glass, rub the rim with the peel, and drop it into the Old Fashioned Cocktail.
Notes
Use a large ice cube to prevent the drink from becoming watery too quickly. High-proof bourbon (100 proof or higher) stands up best to the dilution.
