    Before mixing the drink, chill your serving glass by filling it with ice water and setting it aside.

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Four Roses Bourbon, 1 oz of Sweet Vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice, enough to cool the mixture adequately.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon for about 30 seconds or until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Empty the ice water from the serving glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled glass.

    Prepare the Garnish

    Use a peeler or knife to cut a thin slice of orange peel.

  2. 7

    Add Orange Twist

  3. 8

    Finish with Cherry

    Finally, place a Maraschino cherry on top for an extra touch.
