Add Ice
Place a large ice cube into the glass to chill the drink without watering it down too quickly.

Garnish
Express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a gentle twist. Drop the peel into the glass as a garnish. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry for additional flavor.
