1
Build and stir
Chill an Old Fashioned (rocks) glass by filling it with ice or placing it in the freezer for a few minutes. In a mixing glass or shaker without ice, add 2 oz Old Forester 100 Bourbon, 0.5 oz Averna Amaro, 0.25 oz allspice dram, 0.25 oz pure maple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.
2
Add ice and stir
Fill the mixing glass with large cubed ice (or one large ice ball). Stir gently but thoroughly for 30–45 seconds (about 20–30 revolutions) until the mixture is well-chilled, slightly diluted, and properly integrated.
3
Prepare glass and strain
Discard the chilling ice from the serving glass. Place a single large ice cube into the chilled Old Fashioned glass. Strain the stirred cocktail from the mixing glass into the serving glass over the large ice cube using a julep or hawthorne strainer.
4
Garnish and finish
Express the oils from one piece of orange peel over the surface of the drink by holding the peel skin-side down and giving it a firm squeeze. Optionally rub the peel around the rim of the glass, then drop the peel into the drink as garnish. Serve immediately.
