Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz dark rum
  • 2 dashes aromatic bitters
  • 0.25 oz simple syrup
  • an orange peel

Instructions
 

  • In a rocks glass add ice, preferably a single large cube.
  • In a shaker or mixing glass add rum, bitters, simple syrup, a large ice cube.
  • Stir until chilled, about 10 seconds.
  • Strain into rocks glass.
  • Twist the orange peel for flavor, leave the peel in the glass.

Notes

  • The bigger your ice, the less surface area you have. This means less water gets diluted into the drink. However if you have no large ice cubes (like my situation), use regular ice and stir for less time.
  • This is essentially a seasoned double shot of spirit. You can dress this up as you want, including a granulated sugar rim (skip the simple syrup).
