Method

Cocktail

1

Chill Glass

Place a coupe or chilled rocks glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure it is cold.

2

Combine Ingredients

Add 2 oz rye whiskey, 1 oz amaro, and 3 dashes Angostura bitters into a mixing glass.

3

Add Ice and Stir

Fill the mixing glass with ice (about 6 large cubes). Stir with a bar spoon for 30–45 seconds (approximately 20–30 full turns) until the mixture is well chilled and properly diluted (glass should become frosty and the liquid slightly viscous).

4

Prepare Glass

If you chilled your glass with ice water, dump it now and strain the cocktail. If using the freezer-chilled glass, proceed to strain.

5

Strain and Garnish

Double-strain the stirred cocktail into the chilled coupe or a rocks glass over a single large ice cube, if preferred. Express an orange peel over the drink (optional) to release oils and discard or drop it in. Add one Luxardo or maraschino cherry as garnish.

6

Serve

Serve immediately. Sip and enjoy the balanced interplay of spicy rye, herbaceous-sweet amaro, and aromatic bitters.
