Method

Place the sugar and bitters in a short tumbler. Finely grate the root ginger into the glass, add a splash of water and stir to combine to dissolve the sugar.
Pour over the whiskey, adding a splash of soda water if required. Thread a piece of crystallised ginger and a twist of orange peel onto a cocktail stick and use to garnish the cocktail.
