Ingredients

  • 2 oz Rye Whiskey
  • 1 oz Vermouth

Instructions

  • Place some ice in a mixing glass or cocktail pitcher.
  • Then, use a jigger to measure the whiskey and vermouth and pour
    each into the pitcher over the ice.
  • Add two dashes of the bitters and stir for a good 45 seconds to
    dilute the ice a bit and chill the drink.
  • Carefully, use a julep strainer to hold the ice as you pour the
    drink into a coupe glass (preferred).
  • Top with a real maraschino cherry (optional orange peel because
    it looks pretty).
