Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a cocktail glass (preferably a coupe or martini glass) by filling it with ice water. Set aside while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine 2 oz of bourbon, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Stir

    Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds using a bar spoon until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain

    Discard the ice water from the cocktail glass and strain the mixed cocktail into the chilled glass using a fine mesh strainer.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a maraschino cherry placed in the center. Optionally, express the oils from a strip of orange peel over the drink and either drop it in or place it on the rim of the glass.
