1
Chill the Glass
Begin by chilling a rocks glass or an old-fashioned glass. This can be done by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Prepare the Mixing Glass
In a mixing glass, combine the rye whiskey, simple syrup, and Peychaud's bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture for about 30 seconds until well chilled.
3
Rinse the Glass with Absinthe
Discard the ice water from the chilled glass and pour in the absinthe. Swirl the absinthe around the glass to coat the interior, then discard any excess.
4
Strain the Cocktail
Strain the chilled cocktail mixture into the prepared glass, ensuring that no ice makes it into the final drink.
5
Garnish and Serve
Express the oils from the lemon peel over the drink by holding it over the cocktail and giving it a gentle twist. Optionally, you can also drop the lemon peel into the drink as garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your Thomas H. Handy Sazerac!
