Maraschino liqueur is core to the Adderly's flavor profile. Substituting with other liqueurs will create a different drink.
Express the orange oils over an open flame (lighter or match) held above the drink, allowing the oils to ignite briefly, then drop the twist into the cocktail.
A straight rye whiskey with 50-60% ABV provides the best balance; avoid over-proof or heavily spiced variants that can overpower the maraschino.
Always use fresh-squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled juice lacks the brightness needed for this cocktail.
The recipe does not specify; traditionally, cocktails with fresh citrus are served up (chilled, stirred, strained into a coupe), but serve according to preference.
