Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a cocktail glass by filling it with ice water and setting it aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Stir

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

  4. 4

    Strain

    Discard the ice water from the cocktail glass, then strain the mixture into the chilled glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a maraschino cherry and an orange twist. To create the orange twist, use a vegetable peeler or a knife to cut a thin strip of orange peel, twisting it over the drink to release the oils before placing it on top.
