Method
Prepare glass
Mixing the cocktail
Add 2 oz Bulleit Bourbon, 1 oz sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters to a mixing glass.
Fill the mixing glass with ice (about 1 cup or enough to come near the rim).
Stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 strokes) until well chilled and slightly diluted. Aim for a silky, cold texture rather than rapid agitation — do not shake.
Garnish & finish
Thread one maraschino cherry onto a pick (or drop it into the glass) and place it in the cocktail.
Optional: Express an orange peel over the surface by holding it skin-side down above the drink and giving it a quick pinch to release oils, then rub the rim with the peel and discard or drop it into the drink.
Serve immediately.
