Bourbon or rye. The Bar deliberately won't offer you a sipping malt for this — pour those in a glass on their own.
What's in it
- 45ml (1½ oz) Bourbon or rye whiskey
- 1 Sugar cubeor 10ml simple syrup, stirred in with the bitters
- a few dashes Angostura bitters
- a few dashes Water
- 1 Orange twist optional
- 1 Cocktail cherry optional
How to make it
- Put the sugar cube in a rocks glass and soak it with the bitters.
- Add a few dashes of water and muddle until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add a big cube or fill the glass with ice, then pour in the whisky.
- Stir gently until the glass is cold and the drink has taken on its dilution.
- Express an orange twist over the drink and drop it in, with a cherry if you like.
With simple syrup instead of a cube
Put 10ml simple syrup and the bitters straight into the glass, with no water and nothing to muddle, then carry on from step 3.
