1
Chill glass
Place a rocks glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water while preparing the cocktail to chill for at least 2–3 minutes.
2
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Bulleit Bourbon, 0.25 oz simple syrup, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
3
Add ice and shake
Add about 6 ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mix is well chilled and slightly diluted.
4
Prepare glass
If using ice water to chill the glass, empty it now and dry briefly. Add 1 large clear ice cube or fresh ice to the chilled rocks glass.
5
Strain
Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared rocks glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer (or one strainer if fine mesh is not available) to remove small ice shards and any pulp.

6
Express lemon oils
Hold the lemon twist over the glass, skin side down, and give it a firm squeeze to express the citrus oils over the surface of the drink. Run the twist around the rim if desired, then drop it into the glass or rest it on the rim.
7
Add cherry
Skewer or drop 1 Luxardo or brandied cherry into the cocktail for color and a complementary sweet note.
8
Serve immediately. Optionally offer a short stirring spoon so the guest can briefly stir if they prefer slightly more dilution.
