1
Combine and chill
Add 2 oz bourbon or rye, 0.5 oz pure maple syrup, and 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice to a cocktail shaker.
2
Add bitters
Add 2 dashes Angostura bitters and 1 dash smoked cherrywood or orange bitters (if using) to the shaker.
3
Ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and the mixture is slightly diluted.

4
Prepare glass
Place a large ice cube (or several small cubes) into a rocks glass.
5
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail from the shaker into the prepared glass over the ice using a Hawthorne strainer and (optionally) a fine mesh strainer to catch any pulp or ice shards.
6
Express citrus
Hold a lemon peel over the glass and give it a firm twist to express the oils over the surface of the cocktail, then rub the peel along the rim and drop it into the drink.
7
Garnish
Finish with a maraschino or brandied cherry on a pick (optional).
