    Begin by chilling a lowball glass by filling it with ice water. Set it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of whiskey, 1 tsp of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of bitters.

  3. 3

    Mix the Cocktail

    Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Glass

    Empty the ice water from the lowball glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass without ice.

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange twist over the drink by holding it over the glass and gently twisting it. Then drop the twist into the drink. Add the cherry on top as a garnish.
