“This cocktail is one of my husband’s favorite cocktails. An old-school, yet timeless drink; properly made, it's strong but not too strong, sweet but not too sweet, simple and surely a delicious drink. Cheers!” 

Ingredients:

2 oz. Buffalo Trace Bourbon

1 teaspoon superfine sugar

2 to 3 dashes Angostura bitters

Orange twist and/or cocktail cherry, such as Luxardo to garnish (optional)

  1. Place sugar in an Old Fashioned glass. Douse with bitters and add a few drops of water.

  2. Add bourbon and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add several large ice cubes and stir rapidly with a bar spoon to chill.

  3. Garnish, if you like, with a slice of orange and/or a cherry.
