Muddle the sugar, bitters, and water together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
3
Add a large ice cube or a few smaller ice cubes to the glass.
4
Pour the whiskey over the ice and stir gently for about 30 seconds to combine and chill the drink.

Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by twisting it over the glass, then rub the peel around the rim of the glass.

Drop the orange peel into the glass as a garnish and serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
- Quality Whiskey: Use a good-quality bourbon or rye whiskey for the best flavor.
- Sugar Alternatives: If you prefer, you can use simple syrup instead of a sugar cube for easier mixing.
- Ice Matters: A large ice cube melts slower, keeping your drink chilled without diluting it too quickly.
- Bitters Variations: Experiment with different bitters like orange or walnut for a unique twist.
- Garnish Options: A cherry can be added along with the orange peel for extra flavor and presentation.
