1

Combine the sugar, water, and cinnamon stick (if using) in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring often until the sugar fully dissolves. Let it cool completely.
2

Pour a half cup of bourbon out of the bottle and set it aside for another use.
3

Pour 3 ounces of the prepared simple syrup into the bottle and reserve the remaining syrup for another use.
4

Add bitters to the bottle and put the top back on. Gently tip the bottle to mix the ingredients, then place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours.
5

To serve, pour 2-3 ounces over ice. Add an orange peel and a cherry, then stir. Let the ice slightly mellow and dilute the cocktail.
