We present a new iodine cell based approach that allows one to obtain radial velocities of the components of double-lined spectroscopic binary stars (SB2s) with a precision reaching 5 m/s. Such an RV precision is up to 100 times better than what is currently available in the literature for the SB2s. We discuss the applications of our method to the radial velocity searches for circumbinary planets and spectroscopic follow-up of transiting planet candidates around eclipsing binary stars.
