Method
Cocktail
Measure and combine
Chill an old‑fashioned (rocks) glass by filling it with ice or placing it in the freezer. In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz bourbon, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Shake with ice
Add 6 ice cubes to the shaker. Cap and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is very cold to the touch and the mixture is well diluted and slightly frothy from the citrus.
Prepare glass
Discard the ice from the chilled rocks glass. Add a single large ice cube or fill the glass with fresh ice.
Strain
Fine‑strain or double‑strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube. Straining removes small ice shards and pulp for a cleaner drink.
Garnish & Serve
Serve immediately. Sip slowly to enjoy the balance of oak, citrus, and bitters — Rowan's Creek bourbon provides a rich, caramel and spice backbone that complements the bright citrus and subtle sweetness.
