1. 1

   Put a rocks glass in the freezer.

2. 2

   Pare a 5 cm strip of orange peel with a vegetable peeler.

3. 3

   Add the simple syrup and bitters to a mixing glass, then pour in the bourbon.

4. 4

   Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir with a bar spoon until the outside frosts over, 25-30 seconds.

5. 5

   Put one large ice cube in the chilled rocks glass and strain the drink over it.

6. 6

   Squeeze the peel over the glass with the skin side down to mist its aroma over the drink, rub it around the rim and drop it in.
