Method

Cocktail

Chill glass

Place an old-fashioned glass (rocks glass) in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.

Measure and combine

Add 2 oz rye whiskey and 1 oz sweet vermouth to a mixing glass or a cocktail shaker without the striker (something you can stir in).

Add bitters and ice

Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the mixing glass. Fill the mixing glass with ice (enough to reach near the top; about 1 cup) so the liquid is well surrounded by cold.

Stir

Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full rotations) until the outside of the mixing glass feels very cold and the liquid is slightly diluted (roughly 20–25% dilution by eye/feel). This chills the drink while integrating the vermouth and bitters with the rye.

Prepare serving glass

If you chilled the serving glass with ice water, dump the water and dry the glass. Place one large ice cube or ice sphere into the chilled old-fashioned glass.

Strain

Using a julep or hawthorne strainer, strain the stirred cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared serving glass over the large ice cube.

Garnish

Express the oils of one orange peel over the surface of the cocktail by holding it skin-side down and giving it a firm twist. Run the peeled side around the glass rim and drop the twist into the drink (or discard if preferred).

Serve

Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the balance of spicy rye, sweet herbal vermouth, and aromatic bitters.
