Ingredients

  • 3.50 tablespoons of soft light brown sugar
  • a few dashes of Angostura bitters
  • 3 tablespoons of bourbon or rye whisky
  • to garnish: orange twist

Instructions

  1. In a pan, combine the brown sugar and 3.38 fl oz of water. Heat gently and stir until the sugar dissolves, then allow it to cool. This will make more than you need but will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
  2. Put 3 teaspoons of the sugar syrup and the bitters in an old fashioned glass and stir until combined.
  3. Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour over the bourbon and stir well.
  4. Garnish with a twist of orange peel and serve.
