    Start by chilling a coupe or martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Old Forester Bourbon, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled and diluted.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Empty the ice water from your chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.

Garnishing

    Garnish the Cocktail

    Drop a maraschino cherry into the glass and express the oils from an orange peel over the drink. You can do this by holding the peel between your fingers and giving it a slight twist.
