1
Chill glass
Place a rocks glass (or coupe if preferred) in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice and water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Combine ingredients
In a mixing glass or shaker filled with ice, pour 2 oz Jefferson's Reserve Rye whiskey, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 2 dashes aromatic bitters and 1 dash orange bitters.
3
Stir
Stir the mixture with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 full rotations) until well-chilled and slightly diluted. If using a shaker without a built-in strainer, stir rather than shake for clarity.
4
Prepare glass
If you chilled the glass with ice water, dump the ice and water now. Add a large ice cube (or fresh ice) to the chilled rocks glass.
5
Strain
Strain the stirred cocktail into the prepared glass over the large ice cube.
6
Garnish
Garnish with a maraschino cherry. Optionally express an orange peel over the drink (squeeze the peel skin-side down to spray oils over the surface), rub the peel around the rim, then drop it into the glass.
7
Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.
