■2 Dashes of Bitters
■2 oz. Rye Whiskey
■2 dashes Absinthe or Pernod
■Lemon curl
Soak the sugar cube in the bitters and mash into a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the Rye and shake it like you mean it. Pour the Absinthe (or Pernod) into a chilled rocks glass and swirl it around to coat the inside edges of the glass evenly. Strain the contents of your shaker into the glass and garnish with the lemon curl.
