1
Prepare glass
Place a large ice cube or a few fresh ice cubes into an Old Fashioned (rocks) glass and set aside to chill while you build the cocktail.
2
Combine ingredients
In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker filled with ice, add 2 oz Litchfield rye whiskey, 0.5 oz fresh orange juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, 0.25 oz Luxardo (maraschino cherry liqueur), and 3 dashes Angostura bitters.
3
Stir
Stir the mixture briskly with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full turns) until well chilled and slightly diluted (glass becomes cold and a small frost forms on the mixing glass).
4
Strain
Discard any water from the chilled serving glass if needed, then strain the cocktail over the prepared large ice cube in the Old Fashioned glass.
5
Garnish and express
Express the oils of the orange peel over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down above the glass and giving it a firm twist, then rub the peel around the rim and drop it in. Add the Luxardo cherry as a garnish on a pick or dropped into the glass.
6
Serve immediately. Optionally, offer a short straw for sipping but traditionally served without.
