On The Table: Shaken and Stirred

Needed:
-2oz whiskey (some people use Bourbon, which is also fine)
-3 dashes of Angostura bitters
-1 teaspoon simple syrup (recipe below)
-1 large piece of orange rind

To make your own simple syrup: mix 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar in a heavy-bottom pan, swirl to dissolve, simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool down before using.

Instructions:

1. Place the syrup and bitters in an old fashioned glass.

2. Place a large ice cube in the glass and swirl for a few seconds (or use a frozen drink rock, whichever you prefer).

3. Pour the whiskey over the ice cube. Swirl once.

4. Squeeze the orange rind on top of the cocktail to release the oils and use as garnish.
