How to make it

Build the Base

  1. Drop the sugar cube into a rocks glass.
  2. Saturate the sugar cube with three dashes of Angostura bitters and a teaspoon of water.
  3. Muddle the mixture thoroughly until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Combine and Stir

  1. Pour in the Bourbon whiskey.
  2. Fill the glass with ice cubes and stir gently with a bar spoon for about 30 seconds to chill the mixture and achieve the right dilution.

Serve

  1. Slide a large, fresh ice block or sphere into the glass if possible to keep it perfectly chilled with minimal melting.
  2. Squeeze the orange peel over the glass to release its citrus oils, brush the rim with the peel, and drop it into the drink.

Garnish

A fresh strip of orange peel expressed over the glass and dropped in.

Make it alcohol-free

Replace the bourbon whiskey with 60ml of a non-alcoholic dark spirit alternative, such as Lyre's American Malt, and use alcohol-free aromatic bitters.
