  1. Using a paring knife, gently remove the zest from the orange. Be careful not to press too much in order to avoid collecting much of the pith which is the most bitter part of the orange. Set aside.
  2. Place the sugar cube in an old fashioned (lowball) glass and add the bitters.
  3. Add the water and, using a pestle, stir pressing until the sugar is almost dissolved.
  4. Add the whiskey and stir to combine well.
  5. Add a large ice cube.
  6. Garnish with orange zest and a maraschino cherry and serve immediately.
