Cocktail Base

Method

Cocktail Base

1

Measure and combine

Add 2 oz blended whiskey, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 2 dashes aromatic bitters and 1 dash orange bitters into a mixing glass.

2

Add ice and stir

Fill the mixing glass with plenty of ice (enough to chill and dilute slightly). Stir gently but steadily with a bar spoon for 30–45 seconds until the outside of the glass feels very cold and the liquid is clear and slightly viscous.

3

Strain

Place a large ice cube in a chilled rocks glass. Double-strain the cocktail from the mixing glass into the rocks glass over the large ice cube using a julep strainer (or Hawthorne) and a fine mesh strainer if available to catch small shards.

Garnish & Finish

4

Express orange oils

Hold the orange peel (pith side toward you) about 3–4 inches above the glass and give it a firm twist to express the oils over the drink, then rub the peel around the rim of the glass.

5

Final garnish

Drop the expressed orange peel into the glass. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry on a pick and rest it on the ice. Serve immediately.
