Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Place a cocktail glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while preparing the drink.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Dewar's Scotch Whisky, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to chill the mixture.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Remove the cocktail glass from the freezer or discard the ice water, and strain the mixed drink into the chilled glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish the Drink

    Garnish your drink with a maraschino cherry and an orange twist. To create the twist, use a vegetable peeler to slice a thin strip of orange peel, twisting it over the drink to release its oils before adding.
