Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill Your Glass

    Begin by chilling your cocktail glass. Place it in the freezer or fill it with ice water to cool down while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Basil Hayden Dark Rye Whiskey, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to the top.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled and diluted.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

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

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Twist an orange peel over the drink to release the oils, then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
