1
Chill the Glass
Start by chilling an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice water. Set it aside while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Prepare the Glass
Discard the ice water from the chilled glass. Add the absinthe or pastis to the glass and swirl it around to coat the inside. Discard any excess liquid.
3
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing glass, combine the rye whiskey, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir for about 30 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain into Glass
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. Ensure not to include any ice while pouring.
5
Garnish
Express the lemon peel over the drink to release its oils and then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
