Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Rye Whiskey or Bourbon
  • 1/2 ounce Simple syrup
  • 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
  • 2 dashes Orange Bitters
  • 2 Cherries
  • 1 Orange peel

Instructions

  • Add one or two cherries to an old old fashioned glass and lightly mash with a muddler.
  • Take an orange peel and rub around the inside of the glass rim, then add peel to the cherries.
  • Add ice cubes, rye whiskey, simple sugar, and bitters.
  • Stir to combine and serve.

Notes

Recipe Tips
Muddling the cherries is completely optional. I suggest only mashing the cherries once or twice with a muddler.
Rubbing the orange peel around the inside rim of the glass to release the citrus oil, is an unexpected trick that your guests will appreciate.
