Bourbon, Sugar Cube, Angostura Bitters, Orange Peel


Donate a little bourbon into a rocks glass, then twist at an angle to coat the entire inside, all the way to the rim of the glass. So as not to waste any of the bourbon, pour what’s left into a jigger.
Contribute more bourbon to that jigger, to total 1 1/2 ounces. Pour that into a mixing glass. Add the Carpano Antica, Cynar and Angostura to the mixing glass, then add enough water to remove the burn of the bourbon, but not too much as to needlessly dilute it; start with 1/2 ounce.
Carve an orange peel garnish over the mixing glass, so as to capture as much orange oil as possible, then pour into the bourbon-rinsed (aka “educated”) glass.
