1. Muddle Sugar and Bitters
In a chilled rocks glass, muddle together a sugar cube with a splash of water and two dashes of Angostura bitters until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. Add Whiskey
Pour two ounces of rye or bourbon into the glass with the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
3. Stir the Cocktail
With a bar spoon, stir the mixture for about 30 seconds to mix, chill, and dilute the drink, until it looks clear and thoroughly combined.
4. Add Ice
Place one large ice cube into the glass, or a few smaller cubes if preferred, to keep the drink cold without over-diluting it.
5. Garnish with Orange Peel
Twist a strip of orange peel over the glass to release its oils, then slip it alongside the ice cube as a garnish.
