The small measure of Luxardo Maraschino alongside the cherry liqueur is the key to this drink's depth - the maraschino adds a dry, nutty counterpoint that prevents the cherry from reading as one-dimensional or cloying.

1. 1

   Pre-chill an old-fashioned glass in the freezer or by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

2. 2

   Combine the bourbon, cherry liqueur, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, and orange bitters in a mixing glass.

3. 3

   Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir for approximately 30 seconds until well chilled and properly diluted.

4. 4

   Discard the ice from the old-fashioned glass and place one large ice cube or a chunk of block ice inside.

5. 5

   Strain the cocktail over the ice into the prepared glass.

6. 6

   Cut a wide strip of orange zest, hold it skin-side down over the glass, and express the oils over the surface of the drink, then discard the peel.

7. 7

   Garnish with a skewered Luxardo Maraschino cherry and serve.
