Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

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

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass filled with ice, pour in 2 oz of bourbon, 1 oz of Italian light amaro, and 0.5 oz of dry vermouth.

  3. 3

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of Peychaud's bitters to the mixing glass.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the ingredients properly.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Remove the ice water from the cocktail glass and strain the chilled mixture into the glass using a fine mesh strainer.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Express the oils from an orange twist over the drink and drop it in as a garnish.
