Add Ice
Add 3 ice cubes to the glass. If you prefer your drink chilled, you can use larger ice cubes or a single large ice sphere to minimize dilution.

Garnish
Express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a slight twist. Then, drop the peel into the drink. Finally, add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
