Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large mason jar, combine 2 cups bourbon, ¾ cup sweet vermouth, 1 tablespoon scotch whiskey, and 1½ teaspoons orange bitters. Stir well to blend.
-
Step 2.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least a few days and up to a month to allow flavors to meld. (This can be done a day or two ahead.)
-
Step 3.
When ready to serve, fill a cocktail shaker or pint-size mason jar with ice. Shake about a third of the mixture (enough for two drinks) over the ice until well-chilled.
-
Step 4.
Pour about ½ cup of the strained cocktail into each tumbler over fresh ice, or into martini glasses if preferred. Garnish each drink with a Homemade Cocktail Cherry.
