Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 ounces bourbon whiskey
- 3 dashes angostura bitters
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons simple syrup*, or a sugar cube
- 1 orange peel slice
- 1 "drunken" or maraschino cherry
- Splash of club soda
- Ice cubes (I used one large ice orb).
Instructions
- In your favorite whiskey glass, pour in simple syrup or add sugar cube. If using a cube, pour bitters on top of the cube and crush the sugar. If using simple syrup, add bitters and stir gently.
- Add ice cube(s) to the glass. Pour bourbon over the ice. Stir as desired. Top with a splash of club soda.
- Garnish with an orange slice and drunken cherry.
Notes
*Never made simple syrup before? No worries, it’s easy! In a small sauce pan, heat equal parts water and white sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Then remove from heat, let cool, and then chill in the fridge! I usually make about 1 cup at a time, just to keep on hand; 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Keep in the fridge for up to a month!
