Garnish: A restrained cinnamon-sugar outer rim and exactly one short narrow orange-zest twist

1. 01

   Pre-chill one clear heavy rocks glass, mix equal small pinches cinnamon and sugar, and cut exactly one short narrow orange twist.

2. 02

   Moisten only the outer top edge of the glass with a trace of simple syrup, then apply a restrained even cinnamon-sugar rim.

3. 03

   Muddle exactly one syrup-coated cocktail cherry in the base of a shaker until broken down; it remains an integrated ingredient, not a garnish.

4. 04

   Add 60 ml Canadian whisky, one barspoon orange marmalade, 7.5 ml ginger liqueur, 15 ml orange juice, and two dashes aromatic bitters with ice.

5. 05

   Shake firmly until very cold, then fine-strain into the prepared rocks glass filled with clean cubed ice.

6. 06

   Express the single orange twist over the drink, set it at the rim, and serve with no visible cherry or extra garnish.
