- 1 cup Ice
- 1 piece Luxardo cherry
- 1 strip Orange peel
Instructions
Add the Irish whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters into a mixing glass.
Fill the mixing glass with ice, ensuring it is about three-quarters full.
Stir the mixture with a bar spoon for about 20-30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink properly.
Place a large ice cube or a few smaller cubes into a chilled coupe or rocks glass.
Strain the cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared glass.
Garnish the drink with the Luxardo cherry by placing it at the bottom of the glass or skewer it and rest it on the rim.
Express the orange peel over the drink by holding the peel over the glass and giving it a light squeeze to release the oils.
Drop the orange peel into the cocktail or use it as an additional garnish on the rim before serving.
