Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
- 1 brown sugar cube
- 3 dashes Angostura bitters
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- 1 strip orange peel
- 1 luxardo cherry
- 0.25 oz club soda (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Place the brown sugar cube in a short tumbler or Old Fashioned glass.
Add 3 dashes of Angostura bitters and 2 dashes of orange bitters to the glass, directly over the sugar cube.
Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush and dissolve the sugar cube into the bitters, creating a thick paste.
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the glass, filling it about halfway.
Pour in 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey over the ice.
Gently stir the mixture for about 20-30 seconds to chill and integrate the flavors.
If desired, add a tiny splash (0.25 oz) of club soda for a touch of fizz, but this step is optional.
Express the oils from the orange peel by holding it over the glass and giving it a firm twist, then drop the peel into the drink as a garnish.
Top the drink with a luxardo cherry for a finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ol Fashionista!
