Mixing instructions:
Combine the vermouth, whiskey, bitters and ice in a cocktail glass. Stir gently,
don’t bruise the spirits and cloud the drink. Place the cherry in the chilled
cocktail glass and strain the whiskey mixture over the cherry. Rub the cut edge
of the orange peel over the rim of the glass and twist it over the drink to
release the oils but don’t drop it in. VARIATION: No bitters. Substitute a twist
of lime for the cherry and orange. Hold the lime twist in a lighted match over
the drink and then drop it in. The heat really zips up the lime flavor.
