Ingredients
  

  • 2 parts Maker's Mark Bourbon
  • 2 dashes Angostura® Aromatic Bitters
  • 1 teaspoon Raw Cane Sugar
  • 1 Orange Peel

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve or muddle sugar with bitters and a splash of Maker's® in an Old Fashioned glass
  • Fill glass 3/4 full of ice
  • Add Maker's Mark and stir
  • Express orange peel over your glass to release citrus oils
  • Garnish with orange peel

Notes

DO THE TWIST
Twist orange peel directly over your serving glass to express the oils and add a fresh essence and pleasing aroma to the drink.
A LITTLE BITTER
With bitters, a little bit goes a long way. Two or three drops will add much depth to your Old Fashioned.
THE BIG CHILL
Large ice cubes or an ice ball are more than just cool to look at. Large ice melts slower, allowing the flavors to stand up longer.
SUGAR, SUGAR
Adding a teaspoon of raw cane sugar (such as Demerara), rather than a refined white sugar, will give your Old Fashioned a richer flavor.
