Canadian Rye Sazerac

Canadian Rye Sazerac

2 oz Caribou Crossing Single Barrel Canadian Whisky
3/4  tsp sugar
Two dashes bitters (Peychaud’s)
Lemon Peel
a dash of absinthe (sub Green Chartreuse)

Chill an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice.
In another glass muddle the sugar and Peychaud’s bitters
Add the Rye Whiskey and stir
Now empty the old-fashioned glass of its ice (It should be well chilled)
Rinse the inside of the chilled old-fashioned glass with absinthe expelling any excess.
Empty the rye-sugar-bitters mixture into the chilled old-fashioned glass
squeeze the lemon peel over the cocktail
If desired, garnish with the remainder of the lemon peel

Enjoy Responsibly!
