Method
Cocktail
Build and stir
Place the simple syrup into a mixing glass or base of a rocks glass if you prefer to build. Add 2 dashes Angostura bitters and 1 dash orange bitters (if using). Add 2 oz Frey Ranch bourbon or rye. Add a large handful of ice to the mixing glass.
Stir to chill and dilute
Stir the mixture for about 20–30 seconds (15–20 full rotations) until properly chilled and slightly diluted. The liquid should be cold and slightly viscous.
Prepare serving glass
Place a large ice cube into a chilled rocks glass.
Strain
Strain the stirred cocktail over the large ice cube in the rocks glass.
Garnish
Thread one Luxardo cherry on a pick and rest it on the rim or drop into the glass. Express an orange twist over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down above the glass and giving it a firm twist to spray the oils onto the surface, then rub the peel on the glass rim and drop it into the drink or lay it atop the ice.
Serve
Serve immediately. Sip slowly to enjoy the balance of whiskey, bitters, and cherry with the bright orange oil.
