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

   Strain into Glass

   Remove the ice from your chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.

   Garnish your cocktail with a piece of orange peel and a maraschino cherry. Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils before placing it on the rim.
