Method
Cocktail Base

Add bourbon (2 oz), blue curaçao (0.5 oz), fresh lime juice (0.5 oz), simple syrup (0.25 oz) and 2 dashes angostura bitters into a mixing glass or shaker filled with ice.
- 2
Stir
Stir the mixture briskly for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted (about 12–16 full revolutions).
Rinse & Aromatic
- 3
Prepare Glass
Pour a scant 0.25 tsp absinthe (or pastis/anise liqueur) into a chilled old-fashioned glass, swirl to coat the interior, then discard any excess by pouring it out (or keep a faint coating).
- 4
Add Bitters
After stirring, add 1 dash peach bitters to the mixed cocktail and give a quick one-turn stir to incorporate the aroma without over-diluting.
Finish & Garnish
- 5
Strain
Place a large ice cube in the prepared old-fashioned glass and strain the cocktail over the ice.
- 6
Garnish and Serve
Express the oils of a lime twist over the drink, rim the glass with the twist and drop it in (or use a lime wheel on the rim). Optionally slap a mint sprig lightly between your palms and rest it against the ice for an herbaceous note. Serve immediately.
