“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!”

2 oz. Buffalo Trace Bourbon

1 teaspoon superfine sugar

2 to 3 dashes Angostura bitters
