Ingredients

  • 2 ounces of rye whiskey I had Old Forester's on hand
  • 1 ounce of port any type is fine, I like the classic ruby
  • 3 dashes of orange bitters
  • Ice for chilling a small handful will do
  • Optional: orange peel or brandied cherry for garnish

Instructions

  • Place the ice in a small tumbler or cocktail shaker and pour all the ingredients over it. 
  • Give it a few strong stirs to combine (do NOT shake). 
  • Serve in a rocks glass, either with a large ice cube (so it doesn't melt quickly) or without ice at all.  An orange peel or brandied cherry can be a nice garnish on this.
