Chill a coupe glass (place in freezer or fill with ice/water) until cold.

Express an orange peel over the surface to release oils, drop the peel into the drink as garnish.

Measure and add rye whiskey, dry vermouth, crème de cassis, Angostura bitters, and ice into a mixing glass.

Stir the ingredients with ice in the mixing glass until the drink is well chilled and properly diluted.

Strain the stirred cocktail into the chilled coupe glass using a hawthorne or julep strainer.
