Best Bourbon Old Fashioned

2 tsp simple syrup ((made with turbinado sugar // see notes for method))

3 dashes Angostura bitters

3 dashes orange bitters

1 large ice cube

2 oz bourbon ((we prefer Angel's Envy, Four Roses small batch, or Heaven's Door))

1 piece orange peel

1 whole cocktail cherry ((we prefer Woodford Reserve or Jack Rudy))

To a cocktail glass, add 2 tsp (2 bar spoons) of simple syrup (we prefer making our simple syrup with 1 part turbinado sugar and 1 part water — see notes for method).
Add 3 dashes Angostura bitters.
Add 3 dashes orange bitters.
Add a large ice cube to the glass.
Add 2 ounces (60 ml) of bourbon.
Stir, ideally for 1 minute and for at least 20 seconds.
Spritz an orange peel over the glass to release its oils. Then twist the peel and add to the glass.
Top with a cocktail cherry.
Cheers and repeat!
