Juice citrus
If not already done, squeeze fresh lime and orange to yield the required amounts. Fresh juice gives best balance and brightness.
Mixing
- 3
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 3/4 full). Add 2 oz gin, 0.5 oz cherry brandy, 0.5 oz Cointreau (or triple sec), 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 2 oz fresh orange juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.
- 4
Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

Finish & Garnish
- 6
Float 0.25–0.5 oz cherry brandy gently on top: pour it slowly over the back of a bar spoon held just above the drink surface so it layers on top.

Garnish with one maraschino cherry and an orange slice or twist. Optionally add a straw and serve immediately.
