Method

Preparation

  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.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of rye whiskey, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice and Stir

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

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Empty the ice water from the chilled cocktail glass. Using a strainer, pour the mixed drink into the glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a maraschino cherry and a twist of orange peel. To release the oils, gently twist the orange peel over the drink before placing it in.
