Instructions

  • Muddle the Blueberries and Simple Syrup:

  • Pour the bourbon and add two dashes of Angostura bitters to the mixing glass.
  • Stir the Mixture:
  • Add a few ice cubes to the glass.
  • Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to combine the flavors while chilling the drink.
  • Strain into a Glass:
  • Strain the mixture into an Old Fashioned glass over a large ice cube to reduce dilution.
  • Garnish and Serve:

  • Optionally, give the orange peel a twist over the drink to release its oils before adding it to the glass.
  • Enjoy:
