  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

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

    In a mixing glass, add 2 ounces of bourbon, 1 ounce of sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes of aromatic bitters.

  3. 3

    Stir the Mixture

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Glass

    Discard the ice water from the chilled cocktail glass. Strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the chilled cocktail glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish the Drink

    Garnish the drink with a maraschino cherry and express the oils from an orange peel over the top before placing it in the glass.
