Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Ball

    Start by preparing the ice ball. Use a silicone ice mold to freeze water into a spherical shape. Ensure it's fully frozen before use.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Four Roses Bourbon, 1 tsp of Demerara Syrup, and 2 dashes of House Bitters.

  3. 3

    Stir the Mixture

    Add ice to the mixing glass and stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Place the ice ball in a lowball glass. Strain the chilled mixture over the ice ball.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Finish by garnishing the drink with a Luxardo Cherry. Place it on top of the drink or skewer it if preferred.
