Method

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 while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a mixing glass, combine the Old Overholt Rye Whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice and Stir

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

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Discard the ice water from the chilled glass, then strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the cocktail glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with a maraschino cherry and an orange twist. To create the twist, use a peeler to remove a thin strip of orange peel, twist it over the drink to release its oils, and drop it in.
