1 thin strip lemon peel

Fill old-fashioned glass w/ 1 cup ice and set aside. In 2nd old-fashioned glass, stir together sugar, bitters, and 1/2 teaspoon water until sugar is completely dissolved. Add rye whiskey and remaining 1/2 cup ice, and stir well. From first glass, discard ice, then add absinthe. Holding glass horizontally, roll it between your thumbs and forefingers so absinthe completely coats the interior., the discard excess. Strain rye whiskey mixture into chilled, absinthe-coated glass. Squeeze lemon peel over drink, making sure oils fall into glass. Drop peel into drink and serve. (Whew!)

You know what I did this morning? Cried in my shorts drawer.
