Stir up a complex variation on this classic cocktail!

In a mixing glass combine:

• 2 oz Rye or Bourbon Whiskey
• 1 oz sweet vermouth
• 1 half dropper of Coffee & Cacao bitters (try another variation by using a combination of both the Coffee & Cacao bitters with Spiced Orange bitters for even more complexity)

Stir the above with ice, strain in a chilled cocktail glass.  Garnish with a brandied cherry at the bottom of the glass, and if desired add an expressed orange peel to the rim.

*”expressed orange peel”: take a strip of orange peel, and squeeze the peel in half above the drink to release the oil from the peel, then drop the peel into the glass!

Cocktail designed by Beehive Bitters.
