Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by chilling your glass. Rinse a chilled Old Fashioned glass with absinthe, swirling it around to coat the interior, then discard the excess absinthe.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Sugar

    In a mixing glass, place the sugar cube and add the Peychaud's bitters. Muddle them together until the sugar is dissolved.

  3. 3

    Combine the Ingredients

    Add the rye whiskey to the mixing glass with the muddled sugar and bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes and stir well until the mixture is chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Strain the chilled mixture into the prepared glass, ensuring no ice gets into the final drink.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Twist the lemon peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it in as a garnish.
