Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Start by chilling a cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 ounces of Sazerac Rye Whiskey or Buffalo Trace Bourbon, 1 ounce of Martini Vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters.

  3. 3

    Stir

    Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture well for about 30 seconds until it's well chilled and properly diluted.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Glass

    Discard the ice water from the cocktail glass and strain the chilled cocktail mixture into the glass using a fine mesh strainer.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a Maraschino cherry and express the oils of an orange peel over the top, then drop it into the glass.
