Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a coupe or cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of rye whiskey, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, and 1 dash of orange bitters.

  3. 3

    Stir

    Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled and diluted.

  4. 4

    Strain

    Empty the ice water from the chilled glass, and then strain the mixed drink into the glass using a fine mesh strainer.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Add the Cherry

    Drop a maraschino cherry into the center of the drink as a garnish.

  2. 6

    Garnish with Orange Peel

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by twisting it over the glass, then place it on the rim or float it on top.
