Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Whisky Del Bac, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, and 0.5 tsp of agave syrup. Make sure to measure accurately for the best flavor.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with about 1 cup of ice. The ice will help chill and dilute the drink as you mix.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds. This helps to chill the drink and combine the flavors without over-diluting.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Remove the ice water from the chilled cocktail glass. Using a strainer, pour the stirred mixture into the glass. This ensures a smooth pour without any ice.

  6. 6

    Garnish the Drink

    Garnish your drink with a twist of orange peel over the top to release its oils, and place a maraschino cherry on the rim for an added touch.
