Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Chill glass

    Place a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Add rye whiskey, dry vermouth, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and orange bitters to a mixing glass.

  3. 3

    Fill the mixing glass with cubed ice (about 1 cup).

  4. 4

    Stir the mixture briskly for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 full turns) until well chilled and slightly diluted. The drink should feel cold to the outside of the mixing glass.

  5. 5

    If serving on the rocks: discard ice or water from the chilled glass and add the large ice cube or sphere. Strain the stirred cocktail over the large ice cube. If serving up: double-strain into the chilled coupe to keep out tiny ice shards.

  6. 6

    Top gently with 1 oz of chilled club soda to give the drink a light effervescence; pour slowly down the side of the glass to preserve chill and minimize foaming.

Garnish & Finish

  1. 7

    Express the oils of the lemon twist over the surface of the drink by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a firm pinch about 2–3 inches above the cocktail.

  2. 8

    Rub the twist around the rim if desired, then drop it into the drink or perch it on the glass edge.

  3. 9

    Optionally add a maraschino cherry on a pick for a subtle sweet accent.

  4. 10

    Serve immediately while cold and effervescent.
