Method
Preparation
- 1
Chill glass
If serving in a chilled coupe or rocks glass, place the glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.
- 2
Prepare ice
If using a rocks glass, prepare a large clear ice cube or several large cubes. If serving up, have plenty of ice ready in the mixing glass.
Mixing
- 3
Combine ingredients
In a mixing glass filled with ice, pour 2 oz Maker's Mark bourbon, 1 oz Campari, and 1 oz sweet vermouth.

- 5
Taste check
If the drink tastes too strong, stir another 5–10 seconds to add slight additional dilution. Adjust only by stirring — do not add water directly to the drink.
Serving
- 6
Strain
Discard ice or water from your chilled serving glass. Using a julep or Hawthorne strainer, double-strain the stirred cocktail into a rocks glass over a large ice cube (or into a chilled coupe if serving up).
- 7
Express orange oil
Hold the orange peel over the drink, skin-side down, and give it a firm twist to express the oils across the surface of the cocktail. Run the peel around the rim if desired.
- 8
Garnish and finish
Drop the used orange peel into the glass or set it on the rim. Optionally add a single Luxardo or Amarena cherry on a pick. Serve immediately.
