Ingredients

  • 2 oz rye whiskey
  • 1 large sugar cube or barspoon of raw sugar
  • 3 dashes Hella Aromatic Bitters
  • Orange peel, for garnish

Directions

  1. Add sugar and bitters to rocks glass. Wait up to 30 seconds so the bitters can saturate and soften the sugar, then muddle well.
  2. Add whiskey and stir gently until most of the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add enough ice to stick out above the liquid and stir until the glass is ice cold.
  4. Garnish with an expressed orange peel.
