- 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
- 3 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice

In a small sauce pan, brown the sugar and orange juice. Don't cook it too long or it will become very thick.
Rub an orange peel around the edge of the glass you'll be serving the drink it, so it gives a beautiful orange aroma.
Add one slice orange rind, 1 teaspoon burnt orange sugar and muddle the orange rind and sugar together.
Add 2 dashes bitters and stir, then add in 2 ounces bourbon whiskey, stir again.
You can add a splash of club soda if you like it served that way, or just leave it a true Old Fashioned.
Place a few orange rinds on a cooking sheet and broil on low until the edges become a slightly burnt.
Add a giant ice cube to the cocktail and garnish with a burnt orange. Go back into time and enjoy!
