Sazerac

Sazerac

1/2 teaspoon absinthe

1/2 teaspoon simple syrup

1 dash Peychaud's bitters

2 ounces rye whiskey

Garnish: Lemon twist

Coat chilled old fashioned glass with Absinthe substitute (Herbsaint, Pernod...). Pour out most of what remains, perhaps leaving a small puddle in the bottom of the glass. Add bitters and syrup. You can use a single sugar cube instead of simple syrup, in which case you would now muddle this to dissolve. Add Whiskey.
