- Fill the glass with ice to the top, ensuring it's well-chilled.
- Pour the bourbon over the ice and stir gently to combine the ingredients.
- Express the essential oils from a wide strip of orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a good twist. Then, drop the peel into the cocktail.
