The invention of the drink is frequently (and probably inaccurately) credited to a bartender at the Pendennis Club, in Louisville, Kentucky, who around the turn of the 20th century reportedly made the drink for Colonel James E. Pepper, a member of the club and by some accounts a prominent bourbon distiller.

Yield Makes 1 cocktail

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 scant teaspoon simple syrup
2 dashes Angostura Bitters, plus more to taste
1 half dollar-sized slice orange peel, including pith
2 ounces good-quality rye or bourbon
1 maraschino cherry

Steps:

  • In old-fashioned glass, combine simple syrup and bitters. Fill glass halfway with ice, then stir about a dozen times. Add enough ice to fill glass. Squeeze orange peel over glass to extract oils, add peel to glass, and add whiskey. Stir just until drink is cold and alcoholic bite has softened, about a dozen times. Garnish with cherry, swizzle stick, and straw.
