This is nearly identical to what I do. I usually do 4 of the Angostura and 2 of the Orange with Bulleit rye.

Sometimes, I’ll macerate some blueberries in maple syrup and use that in substitution for the Luxardo cherry, but I prefer the cherry because I love the flavor that the Luxardo juice brings to the cocktail.
