Method

Cocktail

1

Build and stir

Add the bourbon, sweet vermouth, amaro, and Angostura bitters into a mixing glass filled with plenty of ice. Stir gently for 20–30 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and lightly diluted (glass should feel cold to the touch).

2

Strain

Strain the chilled mixture into a chilled old-fashioned glass over a large ice cube (or several smaller cubes if you don't have a large one).

3

Garnish

Express the oils from an orange twist over the surface by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a firm squeeze over the drink, then rub the peel around the rim and drop it in. Optionally add a Luxardo or brandied cherry and finish with a single spritz of orange oil.
