Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Start by chilling your glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the cocktail.

2

In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Woodford Reserve Bourbon.

3

Add 0.5 oz of simple syrup to the mixing glass. This adds sweetness to balance the bourbon.

4

Next, add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the mixture. This will enhance the flavor profile of the drink.

5

Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (about 3).

6

Stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled and mixed.

7

Discard the ice water from your chilled glass.

8

Strain the mixture into the chilled glass.

9

Garnish your drink with an orange twist. To do this, cut a piece of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
