INGREDIENTS

1 cube sugar

Peychaud's bitters (to taste)

3 oz Old Settler Bourbon

3 drops ​absinthe (or Herbsaint or absinthe substitute)

Garnish: lemon twist

DIRECTIONS

Chill an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice and letting it sit while preparing the rest of the drink. In a mixing glass, soak the sugar cube with Peychaud's bitters and muddle to crush the cube. Add Old Settler Bourbon and stir. Discard the ice in the chilled glass and rinse it with absinthe by pouring a small amount into the glass, swirling it around and discarding the liquid. Pour the bourbon mixture into the absinthe-rinsed glass. Garnish with lemon twist.
