Ingredients for The Sheriff 12 oz.

Method

Directions for The Sheriff 12 oz.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by chilling a rocks glass (or an old-fashioned glass) by filling it with ice water and setting it aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of bourbon, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to chill and dilute the mixture.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture well for about 30 seconds until it is well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Empty the ice water from the chilled rocks glass and strain the mixed drink into the glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Twist the piece of orange peel over the drink to release its oils and then drop it into the glass as a garnish. Optionally, add a cherry for garnish.
