2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 strip orange peel
1/2 cup ice

Instructions

Step 1: In a chilled Old Fashioned glass, add 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar and 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Muddle gently for 30 seconds until the sugar dissolves and the bitters are fully incorporated.
Step 2: Pour in 2 ounces spiced rum and add 1/2 cup ice cubes. Stir for 30 seconds until the glass is frosty and the drink is well-chilled.
Step 3: Express a 1-inch strip of orange peel over the glass by twisting it to release the oils, then drop the peel into the drink as a garnish.
