Start by placing a sugar cube on a napkin.
Dash the sugar cube with Angostura bitters. Give it a minute to soak through.
Put the sugar cube in the glass and add club soda. Stir well or use a small mortar to dissolve the sugar completely. It's important that there are no sugar lumps.
Add ice cubes and half of your bourbon.
Stir for 1-2 minutes to combine everything.
While stirring, add more ice and bourbon until you are satisfied with the taste.
When satisfied, add more ice - the temperature should be low.
Cut a slice of orange peel and run its outside around the rim of the glass (optionally burn it briefly).
Twist it and drop it into the glass.
Serve immediately.
