Improved Whiskey Cocktail

It would be awfully hard to improve on this: The Improved Whiskey Cocktail.
Servings: 1 Cocktail

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Glass
  • 1 Rocks Glass

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Bourbon
  • ¼ ounce Maraschino Liqueur
  • 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
  • 8 drops Absinthe
  • 1 twist Lemon (garnish)

Instructions

  • In a mixing glass filled with ice, add 2 ounces of Bourbon, ¼ ounce of Maraschino Liqueur, 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters, and 8 drops of Absinthe.
  • Stir until well chilled.
  • Strain into a Rocks glass filled with fresh ice.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a dropper for Absinthe, then just rinse the rocks glass with a bit of Absinthe. Discard the Absinthe and then add the ice.
