Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare mixing glass and ice

Fill a mixing glass or large tumbler with plenty of fresh ice (about 1 cup or enough to chill effectively). Chilling the glass first is optional but recommended for a colder final drink.

2

Measure and combine

Add 2 oz rye whiskey, 1 oz Campari, 1 oz sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes black walnut bitters to the mixing glass over the ice.

3

Stir

Stir the mixture briskly but smoothly with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full rotations) until well chilled and slightly diluted. Aim for a properly chilled, slightly viscous texture — not cloudy from over-dilution.

4

Strain

Using a julep or Hawthorne strainer, strain the cocktail into a chilled Old Fashioned glass (rocks glass). Serve either neat or over one large clear ice cube, depending on preference.

5

Garnish

Express the oils from one piece of orange peel over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down above the glass and giving it a sharp twist. Rub the peel rim on the glass edge, then drop it into the cocktail as garnish.

6

Serve immediately. Optionally, for a nuttier accent, add an extra dash of black walnut bitters on the top of the finished cocktail.
