Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a cocktail glass. You can do this by filling the glass with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add the rye whiskey, cognac, sweet vermouth, herbal liqueur, Angostura bitters, and Peychaud's bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes until it is about three-quarters full.

  4. 4

    Stir

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture for about 30 seconds or until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain

    Remove the ice water from the chilled cocktail glass and strain the mixture into the glass using a fine mesh strainer.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Twist a lemon peel over the drink to release its oils and then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
