Cocktail

Prepare and Combine
Chill a rocks glass by filling it with ice and setting aside. In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add 2 oz rye whiskey, 0.75 oz Campari, 0.75 oz sweet vermouth, 0.25 oz maraschino liqueur, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.

Mix
Fill the mixing glass with plenty of ice. Stir the mixture briskly for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full rotations) until well chilled and slightly diluted. If you prefer a slightly brighter mouthfeel, you can shake briefly for 6–8 seconds, but stirring preserves clarity and texture.

Prepare Glass
Discard the ice used to chill the rocks glass and add a large ice cube (or fresh ice).
- 4
Strain
Double-strain the chilled cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube using a julep or fine strainer to catch any small shards or pulp.
Garnish & Serve
- 5
Express the oils of an orange twist over the surface of the cocktail by holding the twist skin-side down above the drink and giving it a sharp squeeze to release the oils. Run the twist around the rim and drop it into the glass. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry on a pick. Serve immediately.
