Step by Step
Chill a rocks glass, then rinse it with absinthe and discard the excess. In a mixing glass, combine rye whiskey, Peychaud's bitters and a small amount of sugar with ice. Stir for 25–30 seconds until well chilled. Strain into the prepared glass — no ice. Express a lemon peel over the surface and discard or rest on the rim.
