Amer Picon is a French bitter orange liqueur that can be difficult to find outside of Europe. If you cannot find Amer Picon, you can use a substitute such as Torani Amer or Ramazzotti Amaro.
Use a good quality dry vermouth such as Dolin or Noilly Prat for the best flavor.
Be sure to properly chill the cocktail before straining it into the glass. This can be achieved by stirring the ingredients together for about 30 seconds with a bar spoon.
Garnish the drink with an orange peel by expressing the oils over the top of the drink and then dropping the peel into the glass. This will add a nice citrus aroma to the cocktail.
