Method

Cocktail

1

Chill glass

Place a rocks glass in the freezer for several minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it. Discard ice water before serving.

2

Combine ingredients

In a mixing glass or a tall stirring vessel, add 2 oz Jack Daniel's, 0.75 oz sweet vermouth, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, and 0.25 oz simple syrup.

3

Add ice and stir

Fill the mixing glass with large ice cubes. Stir gently with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full rotations) until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted. The outside of the glass should feel cold and a small amount of frost may appear.

4

Strain

Discard the ice from the chilled rocks glass. Using a julep or hawthorne strainer, double-strain (if desired) the cocktail into the chilled rocks glass over a single large ice cube or ice sphere. This keeps the drink cold without diluting it quickly.

5

Garnish and serve

Express the oils of an orange peel over the drink by holding the peel with the outer skin facing down about 3–4 inches above the surface and give it a firm snap so oils spray onto the cocktail. Rub the peel around the rim and drop it into the glass. Add a Luxardo or maraschino cherry if desired. Serve immediately.
