Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

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

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of whisky, 2 dashes of Scrappy's orange bitters, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, and 0.5 tbs of maple syrup.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add 3 ice cubes to the mixing glass with the ingredients. This will help chill and dilute the cocktail.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled and combined.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Glass

    Empty the ice water from your serving glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with an amarena cherry placed in the glass and an orange peel strip. Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by gently twisting it before adding it as garnish.
