Add ice and stir
Fill the mixing glass with plenty of ice (about 1 cup). Stir gently and continuously for 20–30 seconds (or until the mixing glass registers around 8–10°F / very cold and the liquid is well chilled and slightly diluted). Aim for about 20–25% dilution appropriate for stirred spirit-forward cocktails.

Prepare glass
Discard the ice water from the chilled glass and, if desired, run the zest of an orange around the rim to lightly oil it.

Strain and serve
Double-strain the chilled cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a Hawthorne and julep strainer (or a fine mesh strainer if available) to ensure a clean, clear pour.
Garnish

Express the orange twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down over the cocktail and giving it a sharp squeeze to release the oils. Rub the twist around the rim and drop it into the glass. Optionally, garnish with one Luxardo cherry on a pick.
