1 each Luxardo cherry or maraschino cherry (optional garnish)

1 to taste Ice (for stirring)

Method

Cocktail

Chill the glass

Place a coupe or cocktail glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink to ensure it's well chilled.

Measure and combine

In a mixing glass, add 2 oz Tanqueray gin, 1 oz sweet vermouth, and 0.25 oz maraschino liqueur. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

Add ice and stir

Fill the mixing glass about three-quarters full with ice. Using a bar spoon, stir gently but thoroughly for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full spoon turns) until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted. Aim for silky texture and cold temperature.

Strain

Discard ice or water from the chilled serving glass. Using a Hawthorne or julep strainer, strain the cocktail from the mixing glass into the chilled coupe.

Garnish and serve

Express an orange or lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down above the glass and giving it a sharp squeeze to release oils, then rub the peel on the glass rim and drop it in (or discard if you prefer). Optionally add a Luxardo or maraschino cherry on a pick. Serve immediately.

Equipment

Use the jigger to measure spirits and liqueur accurately. Use the bar spoon to stir and the strainer to pour into the chilled coupe. Use a peeler or channel knife to cut the citrus twist.
