Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 ounces whiskey bourbon is my preference, but you can also use rye whiskey, good quality
  • ¼ ounce simple syrup
  • 2-4 good dashes not drops Angostura bitters, depending on your preference for bitter notes
  • orange for garnish, fresh wheel or peel for orange, or Luxardo cherry
  • maraschino cherry for garnish, fresh wheel or peel for orange, or Luxardo cherry

Instructions

  1. In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, combine the whiskey, simple syrup, and bitters.
  2. Add ice and stir vigorously for 15 seconds, to chill and dilute the cocktail. 
  3. Place a large ice cube into a lowball glass and pour the cocktail over the fresh ice. 
  4. To garnish: Rub an orange wheel around the rim of the glass, then plop it into the drink - or twist an orange peel over the drink to express its oils, then rub it around the rim of the glass and plop it into the drink. Add your choice of cocktail cherry, if you like a little more sweetness. Enjoy immediately.
