Method
Cocktail
Build and stir
Add 2 oz Maker's Mark, 0.5 oz Amaro Lucano, 0.25 oz Rancho West Malibu, 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice, and 2 dashes orange bitters into a mixing glass.
Sweetness/adjust
If you prefer a slightly sweeter Old Fashioned-style balance, add a small bar spoon (about 5 ml) of Luxardo cherry maraschino jar syrup. (This is optional; the Luxardo cherry garnish will already contribute sweetness.)
Prepare glass
Place a large clear ice cube or two large ice cubes in a rocks glass.
Strain and top
Strain the stirred cocktail over the large ice cube in the rocks glass. Top with approximately 2 oz (about 60 ml) chilled soda water to lift and lighten the drink. Gently stir once to integrate the soda.
Garnish
Express the oils of an organic lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down 3–4 inches above the glass and giving it a quick squeeze to release the oils. Run the twist around the glass rim and drop it in. Add one Luxardo cherry on a pick as a garnish.
