Calories: 146kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ounces bourbon
- 2-3 dashes aromatic bitters
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon water
- orange peel and cherries for garnish
Instructions
- In a rocks glass, combine brown sugar and water. Add 2-3 dashes of aromatic bitters and muddle or gently stir until the sugar has mostly dissolved.
- Pour bourbon into the glass and add an ice cube. Gently stir to combine and chill the cocktail. Serve immediately.
Notes
-
- Try using my brown sugar simple syrup rather than brown sugar and water separately to minimize the use of sugar granules in your drink for a smoother, more even sweetness.
- Use large ice cubes to prevent excessive dilution and maintain the drink's integrity.
- For the garnish: Twist citrus oils from a fresh orange peel over the drink and add cocktail cherries for a final touch before serving.
