Classic Bourbon Old Fashioned

Prepare a rocks glass by placing 1 large ice cube inside to chill while you build the drink.

In a separate mixing glass, combine 1 tsp of Demerara simple syrup and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

Pour 2 oz of bourbon whiskey into the mixing glass.

Add a handful of standard ice cubes to the mixing glass and stir briskly for 20 to 30 seconds to chill and properly dilute the spirit.

Strain the mixture over the large ice cube in your prepared rocks glass.

Take a 1 strip of orange peel, twist it over the glass to express the oils onto the surface of the drink, then run the peel around the rim of the glass before dropping it in.
