Start by preparing your lemon peel. Use a channel knife to peel your entire lemon, creating a long spiral lemon twist. Twist the lemon peel around your finger or a bar spoon to make it curly, then drop the peel into a highball or rocks glass.
Fill the glass with ice cubes or a Collins ice stick.
Pour in 2 oz of bourbon or brandy.
Top the glass with 3 oz of ginger ale.
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Gently stir the drink with a bar spoon.
Garnish the cocktail with the lemon peel.
