How to make it

1. 01
   Chill the glass

   Drop a large cube into a rocks glass and set aside. Stash a coupe of cracked ice nearby.
2. 02
   Build in the mixing glass

   Add 0.25 oz demerara syrup and 3 dashes of Angostura into a chilled mixing glass.
3. 03
   Add the spirit

   Pour 2 oz bourbon over the syrup and bitters. Fill the glass two-thirds with cracked ice.
4. 04
   Stir to dilute

   Stir 30–40 rotations with a bar spoon. Aim for ~20% dilution — cold to the touch, no longer biting.
5. 05
   Strain & garnish

   Strain over the single large cube. Express an orange peel oil-side down over the surface, twist, and drop it in.
