    Build and chill

    Fill a mixing glass or cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup).

  3. 3

    Stir

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture briskly for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted (the glass should feel cold).

    Strain

    Strain the cocktail into a rocks glass over one large ice cube or a few fresh ice cubes.

  5. 5

    Express the oils of a lemon twist over the drink and drop it in, or finish with a lemon wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.

Highball variation

  1. 6

    Fill a highball or Collins glass with additional ice (about 1 cup).

    Pour 2 oz Jack Daniel's over the ice, add 2 dashes Angostura bitters and 0.25 oz simple syrup, then top with 3 oz club soda or cola (depending on preference).

    Give a gentle stir with a bar spoon to combine, garnish with a lemon wedge, and serve.
