1
Prepare the Mixing Glass
Begin by chilling a mixing glass by filling it with ice to cool it down while you gather the other ingredients.
2
Combine the Ingredients
Once chilled, discard the ice from the mixing glass. Add 2 oz of Rittenhouse Rye Whiskey, 1 oz of Sweet Vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters into the mixing glass.
3
Stir the Mixture
Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well combined and chilled. The goal is to mix without diluting too much.
4
Strain into Glass
Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass using a fine mesh strainer to ensure a smooth pour.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a maraschino cherry and an orange twist. To create the orange twist, use a vegetable peeler to cut a thin strip of orange peel and express the oils over the drink before placing it on the rim.
