Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by chilling your glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add the Maker's Mark whisky, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice.

  3. 3

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled and diluted.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Empty the chilled glass of ice water. Using a strainer, pour the stirred mixture into the glass over one large ice cube or several smaller ones.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Take a piece of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release the oils. Rub the peel around the rim of the glass and drop it into the drink. Finally, add the maraschino cherry as a garnish.
