Method

Cocktail

1

Chill and prepare glass

If desired, briefly chill the old-fashioned glass by filling with ice and water while you prepare ingredients; discard the water before building the drink. Alternatively, proceed with an empty room-temperature glass.

2

Add ice

Place 2–3 large ice cubes (or one large sphere) into the old-fashioned glass. Using large ice slows dilution and keeps the drink balanced.

3

Measure and pour spirits

Using a jigger, pour 2 oz blended Scotch whisky (or bourbon) and 1 oz amaretto directly over the ice into the glass.

4

Stir to combine

Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon for about 20–30 seconds (12–15 full rotations) until the outside of the glass is slightly chilled and the drink is slightly diluted and integrated.

5

Garnish and serve

Express an orange twist over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down over the glass and giving it a quick twist to release oils, then rub the rim and drop it in (optional). Serve immediately.

Tools

6

Use the jigger to accurately measure spirits, a bar spoon to stir, and a peeler or small knife to cut the orange twist if using.
