Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (1/4 ounce) club soda
- 1 sugar cube (preferably rough-cut and unbleached*) or 1/2 teaspoon raw sugar, such as turbinado or Demerara
- Dash Angostura Bitters
- 5 tablespoons (2 1/2 ounces) whiskey
- 1 cup ice
- 1 (1/2-inch-thick) strip orange peel
- 1 (1/2-inch-thick) strip lemon peel
- *Rough-cut, unbleached sugar cubes can be purchased on amazon.com.
Instructions
- In chilled cocktail shaker or pint glass, pour club soda over sugar cube. Using muddler or back of large spoon, gently crush sugar cube. Swirl glass until sugar dissolves, 20 to 30 seconds.
