Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    If desired, rim a chilled glass with smoked sea salt by running a lemon wedge around the rim and then dipping it into the salt.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine 2 oz of bourbon, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes of aromatic bitters.

  3. 3

    Stir Well

    Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Twist an orange peel over the drink to release the oils and place it on the rim as a garnish. Optionally, add a cherry for additional flavor.
