Call Me Old-Fashioned

Use 2:1 rich simple syrup for its listed portion.

Chill an Old Fashioned glass in preparation for serving.

Prepare an orange zest twist for garnish.

Stir the cognac, rich sugar syrup, and a dash of Angostura Aromatic Bitters with ice to combine and chill.

Strain the mixture into the ice-filled Old Fashioned glass, preferably over a large cube or a chunk of block ice.

Express the orange zest twist over the cocktail to release its oils, then use it as a garnish.
