Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ oz bourbon
  • ¾ oz amaretto
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • ½ oz sugarcane syrup or simple syrup
  • Ice cubes
  • Orange peel for garnish
  • Maraschino cherry optional

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing glass, combine bourbon, amaretto, bitters, and sugarcane syrup.
  • Fill the glass with ice and stir for about 20-30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink.
  • Strain into a short glass filled with a large ice cube.
  • Express the orange peel over the drink by squeezing it to release the oils, then drop it in as garnish.
  • Optionally, add a maraschino cherry for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • For a stronger bourbon-forward taste, reduce amaretto to ½ oz.
  • If you like it sweeter, add an extra ¼ oz of sugarcane syrup.
  • Try a smoked version by torching the orange peel before adding it.
