Cocktail

2 oz Rye whiskey3/4 oz Berto Amaro (Berto Bitter) or similar bitter amaro1/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino liqueur2 dashes Angostura bitters1 dashes Orange bitters1/4 tsp Pernod (anise liqueur) - for rinse1 piece Large ice cubes or sphere1 twist Orange peel (for garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass with Pernod rinse

Pour 0.25 tsp Pernod into a chilled rocks glass. Swirl the Pernod around to coat the interior (especially the bottom and sides). Discard any excess by pouring back into the bottle or onto a paper towel so only a thin aromatic film remains.

Mix the cocktail

In a mixing glass combine 2 oz rye whiskey, 0.75 oz Berto Amaro, 0.25 oz Luxardo Maraschino, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, and 1 dash orange bitters. Add plenty of ice.

Stir

Stir the mixture briskly with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds (about 25–30 full turns) until well chilled and properly diluted (target temperature around 4–6°C / 39–43°F).

Strain and serve

Strain the chilled cocktail into the Pernod-rinsed rocks glass over a single large ice cube or sphere.

Garnish

Express the oils of an orange peel over the drink by holding the peel with the exterior facing down and giving it a firm squeeze to spray oils across the surface. Rub the peel around the glass rim and drop it into the drink as garnish.

Serve

Serve immediately while cold and aromatic. Note the anise note from the Pernod rinse should be subtle and complementary to the bitter-sweet profile of the amaro and Luxardo.
