   Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (approximately 1 cup) to chill the mixture effectively.

4. 4

   Stir the Mixture

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

5. 5

   Strain into Glass

   Remove the ice water from the chilled rocks glass and strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the rocks glass.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Finally, garnish the drink with a single Bing cherry, placing it gently in the glass.
