Stir the Cocktail
Add ice to the glass, then gently stir the mixture to combine all the ingredients. The goal is to chill the drink without diluting it too much.

Garnish
Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a twist. Then drop the peel into the drink as garnish. Finally, add the maraschino cherry on top for decoration.
