Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine the Ardbeg Scotch whisky, sweet vermouth, and orange bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain the Cocktail

    Discard the ice water from the chilled cocktail glass. Use a strainer to pour the mixed cocktail into the glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the cocktail and then drop it into the drink. Add a maraschino cherry on top as a garnish.
