1
Combine ingredients
Add Maker's Mark bourbon (2 oz), Amaro Montenegro (3/4 oz), Fernet-Branca (1/4 oz), simple syrup (1/4 oz), and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters into a mixing glass.
2
Add ice and stir
Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir briskly for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full rotations) until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.
3
Prepare glass
Place a large clear rocks glass in the freezer for a minute or add one large ice cube to the glass. If using a chilled glass (no ice yet), drop the large ice cube in now.
4
Strain
Double-strain the chilled cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube to ensure a clean, silky texture.

5
Express the oils from the orange peel over the surface of the drink by holding the peel about 3–4 inches above the glass and giving it a firm squeeze so the oils spray onto the cocktail.
6
Rub the rim of the glass with the peel, then drop the expressed peel into the drink as a garnish.
