Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a coupe or cocktail glass by filling it with ice water. Set it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Old Tom gin, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, and 0.5 oz of maraschino liqueur.

  3. 3

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the mixing glass.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds, ensuring it is well chilled and diluted.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

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

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Express the oils from an orange twist over the drink, then drop the twist into the glass as a garnish.
