1
Chill the Glass
Begin by chilling a rocks glass or an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice water. Set it aside to cool while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Prepare the Absinthe Rinse
In a separate glass, add the Jade 1901 Absinthe. Swirl it around to coat the interior of the glass, then discard the excess absinthe.
3
Mix the Cocktail
In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the Martel Cordon Bleu Cognac, Michter's Rye Whiskey, and Peychaud's Bitters. Stir well until chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Empty the chilled rocks glass of ice water. Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass, ensuring the absinthe rinse is included.
5
Garnish
Express the oils from the lemon peel over the drink and then place it in the glass as a garnish.
