1
Prepare glass
Chill a short rocks glass or Old Fashioned glass by filling it with ice and cold water while you mix the cocktail.
2
Mix
In a mixing glass or Boston shaker (no need to shake), add the Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet vermouth, amaro, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters.
3
Stir
Fill the mixing glass with large cubed or crushed ice and stir gently with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full turns) until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.
4
Prep glass
Discard the ice and water from the chilled rocks glass and add one large clear ice cube (or several large cubes).
5
Strain and finish
Double-strain or fine-strain the chilled cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube.
6
Garnish
Express the oils of an orange peel over the drink by holding the peel over the glass and giving it a quick twist (skin side down). Run the peel around the rim and drop it into the drink as garnish.
7
Serve
Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the balance of bourbon, vermouth, and amaro.
