Base spirit & modifiers

Citrus & bitters

Sweetener (optional)

Garnish

Method

Prepare and measure

  1. 1

    Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass by filling with ice and setting aside, or place in the freezer for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Measure all spirits, vermouths, liqueur, lemon juice, bitters and simple syrup so they are ready at the bar station.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Build and stir

    Fill a mixing glass two-thirds full with fresh ice. Add 2 oz bourbon, 0.75 oz sweet vermouth, 0.25 oz dry vermouth, 0.25 oz maraschino liqueur, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional), 2 dashes orange bitters and 1 dash Angostura bitters.

  2. 4

    Stir

    Stir gently with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full turns) until the mixture is well chilled, slightly diluted and the mixing glass fogs.

Strain & finish

  1. 5

    Discard ice from the chilled serving glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the glass using a julep or fine mesh strainer to remove tiny ice shards and any pulp from the lemon.

  2. 6

    Express the oils of the orange peel over the surface by holding the peel skin-side down about 3 inches above the drink and giving it a firm bend to spray oils, then run the peel around the glass rim and drop it into the cocktail.

  3. 7

    Garnish with one maraschino cherry on a pick rested across the rim or dropped into the drink.

Serve

  1. 8

    Serve immediately. Recommend sipping slowly to appreciate the layered vermouth, maraschino and citrus notes against the warm spice of the bourbon.
