- as needed

- 2 ounces
- Punt e Mes
- 1 ounce
- Maraschino liqueur
- 1/2 ounce
- Orange peel
- 1, for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a mixing glass with ice to chill.
- Pour in the rye whiskey, Punt e Mes, and maraschino liqueur over the ice.
- Stir the cocktail mixture gently until well chilled, approximately 30 seconds. Tip: The aim here is to combine the ingredients well without diluting the drink too much.
- Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass to remove the ice and achieve a smoother drink.
- Twist the orange peel over the cocktail to release its oils and then drop it into the glass as a garnish.

Tips
