1
Stir and strain (Old Fashioned/Manhattan style)
Place a mixing glass or small pitcher in front of you. Add 2 oz Michter's US*1 Single Barrel Rye, 0.75 oz sweet vermouth, 2 dashes aromatic bitters, 1 dash orange bitters, and 0.25 oz Luxardo maraschino liqueur if using. Fill the mixing glass with large ice cubes until nearly full.
2
Stir the mixture with a bar spoon for 30–45 seconds (about 20–30 full rotations) until well-chilled, slightly diluted, and the outside of the mixing glass feels cold.
3
Place a large chilled rocks glass or coupe on the bar. Strain the stirred cocktail over one large ice cube in the rocks glass (or neat into a chilled coupe) using a julep strainer into the glass.

4
Express the orange peel over the drink: hold the peel with the outer (orange) side facing down above the cocktail and give it a firm snap to spray oils onto the surface. Rub the peel rim on the glass and drop it into the drink (or discard if you prefer a dry twist).
5
Optionally, drop a Luxardo cherry into the drink for an added layer of flavor and presentation.
