Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine 2 oz of Bulleit Rye Whiskey, 1 oz of Sweet Vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters.

  2. 2

    Stir and Strain

    Stir the mixture for about 30 seconds until well chilled. Then, strain it into a chilled rocks glass.

Cherrywood Smoke Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Smoke

    In a smoke infuser or a smoke gun, use 1 cup of Cherrywood chips to create smoke. Light the chips and let them produce a rich, aromatic smoke.

  2. 4

    Infuse the Cocktail

    As the cocktail is poured into the glass, direct the smoke into the glass to infuse the drink with a smoky flavor. Allow it to sit for a few moments to enhance the aroma.

Garnishing

    Garnish the Drink

    Finish the cocktail by garnishing it with a Maraschino cherry and a twist of orange peel for added flavor and presentation.
