Preparation

1. 1

   Chill the Glass

   Begin by chilling your glass. You can do this by placing it in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes or filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of rye whiskey, 0.5 oz of sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

3. 3

   Add Ice and Stir

   Fill the mixing glass with a large ice cube or several smaller cubes. Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

4. 4

   Prepare the Glass

   Remove the ice or water from your chilled glass. Optionally, you can add a fresh large ice cube to the glass if you prefer it on the rocks.

5. 5

   Strain the Mixture

   Using a strainer, pour the chilled mixture from the mixing glass into your prepared glass.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a gentle twist. Drop the peel into the drink along with a maraschino cherry.
