1
Prepare the Glass
Rinse a chilled Old Fashioned glass with absinthe, swirling it around to coat the inside, then discard the excess absinthe.

Muddle Sugar and Bitters
In a separate mixing glass, muddle the sugar cube with the Peychaud's bitters and a few drops of water until the sugar is dissolved.
3
Add Rye Whiskey
Add the rye whiskey to the mixing glass filled with ice and stir until well chilled.
4
Strain into Glass
Strain the mixture into the prepared Old Fashioned glass.
5
Garnish
Express the lemon peel over the drink to release its oils and then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
