Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Place one large ice cube (or fill the old-fashioned glass with large ice) into a chilled old-fashioned or rocks glass to cool it while you mix.
Mix
Fill a mixing glass or cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Pour in 2 oz vodka, 0.5 oz sol (sunflower) liqueur, 0.5 oz sweet vermouth, 0.25 oz dry curaçao, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Stir
Stir the mixture briskly for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 full turns) until well chilled and slightly diluted, about 25% reduction in temperature and a slight frost on the glass.
Strain & Serve
Discard the cooling ice from the serving glass if you used a single cube to chill; drop in 1–2 fresh large ice cubes. Strain the stirred cocktail into the prepared glass over the ice.
Garnish
Express the oils of an orange peel over the drink by holding peel skin-side down above the cocktail and give it a firm twist to release the oils, then rub the peel around the glass rim and drop it into the drink as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy. Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the simple syrup by 0.125–0.25 oz if desired.
