This is a very simple drink, possibly the first to be called a cocktail.

Ingredients

2 measures Bourbon
1 Sugar cube
a dash Angostura bitters
1 measure Soda water
Half a slice Lemon
1 Maraschino cherry
Peel twist Orange
Cracked Ice

Method

Place the ice cube in the glass and add a few drops of Angostura. One the bitters have been soaked up by the sugar cube, add cracked ice to the glass, and add the whisky and soda.

Garnish with half a slice of lemon and a cherry. Add a twist of orange and a muddler to the glass.
