Ingredients
- Absinthe for rinsing the glass
- 1 sugar cube
- 3 dashes Peychaud's bitters
- 2 ounces rye whiskey
- Lemon peel for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse a chilled rocks glass with absinthe: Add a small splash of the liquor, swirl to coat the interior, then discard the excess. Set the glass aside.
- In a mixing glass add the sugar cube and Peychaud's bitters. Muddle until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the rye whiskey and ice to the mixing glass.
- Stir gently until the mixture is well chilled and combined, about 30 seconds.
- Strain into the prepared, absinthe-rinsed glass (without ice).
- Express a lemon peel over the drink to release its oils, then add it as garnish or discard, according to preference. Serve immediately.
