Ingredients

SO WHAT YOU'RE GONNA NEED IS:

2 ounces Bourbon Whisky or Rye Whiskey
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
1 Sugar Cube
1 teaspoon Water
1 Orange
5 Ice Cubes

YOU'LL ALSO NEED:

Instructions

Add 1 Sugar Cube (or 1 teaspoon) sugar to a Rocks or Double Rocks Glass.
Add 1 teaspoon Water and 2 shakes Angostura Bitters.
Stir until the Sugar starts to break down and dissolve.
Add 2 Ice Cubes.
Add 2 ounces Bourbon Whisky (Note: you can also use Rye Whisky. Bourbon will be more full bodied and a touch sweeter; Rye will be dryer and spicier.)
Stir for about 20 seconds. Add more ice if desired.
Garnish with orange peel (Note: use a Vegetable peeler to create a 3 inch long by 1 inch thick peel) (Note: I like to twist the peel a little over the glass to release some orange oil into the drink. You can also rub the peel around the rim of the glass too).
