Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Glass

Chill a rocks glass by filling it with ice water. Set aside.

2

Muddle the Sugar

In a separate mixing glass, muddle the sugar cube with a few dashes of Peychaud's bitters until the sugar is dissolved.

3

Add Rye

Pour in the rye whiskey and add ice to the mixing glass. Stir well until chilled.

4

Prepare the Glass Again

Discard the ice water from the chilled rocks glass and rinse it with Herbsaint or absinthe, swirling it around to coat the inside. Discard any excess.

5

Strain and Garnish

Strain the rye mixture into the prepared glass. Express the lemon peel over the drink and then drop it in as a garnish.
