Equipment

  • Rocks glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Jigger
  • Muddler
  • Large ice cube mold
  • Small strainer

Ingredients

  • 2 oz bourbon smooth, mid-range
  • 2 dashes pecan bitters
  • 1 dash Angostura bitters
  • 1 cube sugar or 1/2 tsp simple syrup
  • large ice cube
  • cinnamon stick optional garnish
  • pecan half optional garnish

Instructions

  • Drop the sugar cube into your rocks glass.
  • Add the pecan bitters and Angostura bitters onto the sugar.
  • Gently muddle until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Pour in the bourbon and stir slowly.
  • Add a large ice cube.
  • Stir again for 15–20 seconds to chill.
  • Garnish with a cinnamon stick and pecan half if desired.

Notes

Use higher-proof bourbon for a bolder drink that holds up to dilution. Both pecan and Angostura bitters add complexity. Toasting the pecan garnish enhances aroma.
