Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill Your Glass

    Begin by chilling a cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add the rye whiskey, Carpano Antica sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add three ice cubes to the mixing glass. The ice will chill and dilute the drink as you stir.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain the Cocktail

    Remove the ice water from your cocktail glass. Then, using a strainer, pour the chilled cocktail mixture into the glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Finish by adding a maraschino cherry to the drink as a garnish.
