Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of High West Whiskey, 1 oz of Sweet Vermouth, and 2 dashes of Orange Bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

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

  4. 4

    Strain the Drink

    Discard the ice water from the chilled cocktail glass. Strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the cocktail glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oils from an orange twist over the drink and drop it in. Add a Maraschino cherry for garnish.
