This cocktail caters to those who appreciate a refined and robust drink, encapsulating simplicity with depth in each sip.

  • 1 tsp sugar, granulated
  • 2 dashes bitters, aromatic
  • 1 piece citrus peel, orange or lemon

  2. Using a muddler, press down on the sugar and bitters until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  3. Pour the bourbon over the muddled mixture.
  4. Add a handful of ice cubes to the mixing glass and stir briskly for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the mixture slightly.
