Method
Preparation
Prepare the Glass
Select an old fashioned glass and place it on a flat surface.
Add the Ice
Place the large ice cube into the glass. This will chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.
Mix the Drink
In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, and 1 tsp of simple syrup.
Stir
Add ice to the mixing glass and stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.
Strain into Glass
Using a strainer, pour the chilled mixture over the ice cube in the old fashioned glass.
Garnishing
Add the Garnish
Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a twist. Then drop the peel into the drink.
Finish with Cherry
Add one maraschino cherry on top for a classic finish.
