Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brown Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to brown and develop a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Sage

    In a cocktail shaker, add the sage leaves and demerara sugar. Use a muddler to gently press the sage leaves to release their oils.

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the George Dickel Rye, absinthe, and the cooled brown butter to the shaker.

  4. 4

    Shake It Up

    Fill the shaker with ice, cover it, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a sage leaf if desired.
