Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Mixing Glass

    Begin by chilling your mixing glass. Fill it with ice and let it sit for a couple of minutes while you gather your other ingredients.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the mixing glass is chilled, discard the ice and add 2 oz of High West Dbl Rye, 0.5 oz of Pimento Dram, and 1 oz of Mata Sweet Vermouth into the glass.

  3. 3

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the mixture in the mixing glass.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Fill the mixing glass with ice (about 1 cup) and stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Using a strainer, pour the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass, ensuring no ice gets into the drink.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Express the oils from an orange twist over the drink and drop the twist into the glass as garnish.
