Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Fill a cocktail glass with crushed ice and pour in absinthe. Let the ice soak in the aroma.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Pour cognac, bourbon, sugar syrup and bitters into a bar glass filled with ice.

    Stir with a bar spoon for about half a minute until the mixture cools well and the ingredients combine.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Remove the ice with absinthe from the cocktail glass — only the aroma should remain.

    Pour the cocktail into a prepared glass through a strainer.

    Garnish with lemon zest, expressing its oils over the surface of the drink.
