Cocktail

1 1/2 oz Disaronno Amaretto1 1/2 oz Bourbon (or blended whiskey)1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice1/4 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)2 dashes Angostura bitters

Garnish & Finish

2 pieces Large ice cubes1 piece Orange peel (for twist)1 piece Maraschino cherry (optional)

Method

Cocktail

Build and shake

Add Disaronno Amaretto, bourbon, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Cap and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold (this chills and dilutes to proper balance).

Prepare glass

Place 1–2 large ice cubes into an old-fashioned (rocks) glass. If you prefer the cocktail slightly less diluted, use a single large ice cube.

Strain

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the large ice cube(s) using a Hawthorne or fine strainer so the drink is smooth and clear.

Garnish & Finish

Express the oils of the orange peel over the surface of the drink by holding the peel skin-side down over the glass and giving it a quick twist. Rub the peel around the rim of the glass, then drop the peel into the drink (or discard).

Optionally, skewer a maraschino cherry and place it on top of the ice or drop it into the drink. Serve immediately.
