Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling your cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass filled with ice, pour in 2 oz of Straight Bourbon Whiskey and 1 oz of Sweet Vermouth.

  3. 3

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura 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 drink.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

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

  6. 6

    Garnish the Cocktail

    Garnish your cocktail with a Maraschino Cherry and an Orange Peel. To release the oils from the peel, twist it over the drink before dropping it in.
