1
Chill the Glass
Begin by chilling your old fashioned glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon or rye, brandy, coconut cream, absinthe, and bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.
3
Prepare the Glass
Discard the ice water from the chilled glass. If desired, rinse the glass with a small amount of absinthe to coat the inside, then discard the excess.

4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixed cocktail into the prepared old fashioned glass over one large ice cube or a few smaller ones, depending on your preference.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a smoked cinnamon stick and a strip of lemon peel. Optionally, express the oils from the lemon peel over the drink before placing it in.
