Trump is the kind of old-fashioned person for whom a handshake still carries meaning: reflecting a Texas spirit that one's word is one's bond. Some people view an oral agreement as creating a contract that, in certain circumstances, can be recognized by a court as legally binding, and it is often understood as a matter of honor, ethics, and fairness.

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon sugar

3 dashes Angostura bitters

1 teaspoon water

2 ounces bourbon (or rye whiskey, if preferred)

Garnish: orange twist

Trump is neither simply shaken nor stirred.

Trump is first shaken, then stirred, and poured with an orange twist.

A quiet chuckle.

Once you try the orange twist, you may find you prefer it to darker garnishes.
