Method
Cocktail
Build & Stir
Add 2 oz bourbon, 0.25 oz rye whisky, 0.5 oz demerara simple syrup, 2 dashes Angostura bitters and 2 dashes orange bitters to a mixing glass.
Fill the mixing glass with ice (enough to reach just below the rim) and stir briskly for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted (about 15–20% dilution by eye).
Place a single large ice cube into a chilled rocks glass.
Strain the chilled cocktail over the large ice cube into the rocks glass.
Garnish & Finish
Add one Luxardo or brandied cherry on a pick and rest on the edge or drop into the drink.
Serve immediately. Recommend serving instructions: enjoy slowly, sipping over the large cube to maintain chill with minimal dilution.
Make demerara simple syrup (if needed)
Combine 2 parts demerara sugar with 1 part water in a small saucepan. Heat gently while stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and cool. Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks.
