Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling your cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mixing Glass

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Distillery 291 Rye, 0.5 oz of Luxardo Cherry Liqueur, and 0.25 oz of Absinthe.

  3. 3

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of bitters to the mixing glass.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes—about 1 cup—until it's nearly full.

  5. 5

    Stir the Cocktail

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled and combined.

  6. 6

    Strain into Glass

    Discard the ice water from the chilled cocktail glass and strain the mixed cocktail into the glass.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish your cocktail with a Luxardo Maraschino Cherry and a strip of orange peel for added aroma.
