1
Chill glass
If desired, chill your rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail, then discard before serving.
2
Prepare a large clear ice cube or sphere ahead of time (frozen in a silicone mold) so it's ready to use. Have an orange and a cherry on hand.

3
In a mixing glass add 2 oz bourbon, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 0.25 oz Green Chartreuse, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.
4
Fill the mixing glass with plenty of ice. Stir vigorously for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 full rotations) until the mixture is well-chilled, slightly diluted, and the mixing glass feels cold to the touch.

5
Discard any ice from the chilled rocks glass. Place the large ice cube or sphere in the glass.
6
Strain the chilled cocktail from the mixing glass over the large ice cube into the rocks glass using a Hawthorne or julep strainer.
7
Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down about 3–4 inches above the surface and giving it a firm squeeze so the citrus oils spray over the cocktail. Run the peel around the rim and drop it into the glass.
8
Garnish with one Luxardo or brandied cherry on a pick and serve immediately.
