1
Prepare glass
Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice and setting it aside while you build the drink (about 2–3 minutes).
2
Build and stir
Discard the ice from your chilled glass. In a mixing glass or shaker tin filled with fresh ice (about 1 cup), combine 1.5 oz añejo rum, 0.5 oz cognac, 0.75 oz dry vermouth, 0.25 oz orange curaçao, 0.25 oz grenadine, and 1 dash Angostura bitters. Stir gently with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.
3
Strain
Double-strain the mixture into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne or julep strainer and, if needed, a fine mesh strainer to remove tiny ice shards.
4
Garnish and serve
Express the oils of an orange twist over the drink (hold the twist over the glass and give it a quick squeeze to release the oils), rim the glass with the twist and drop it in or hang it on the rim. Serve immediately.
