American single malt anchors this cocktail from Seven Grand.

This cocktail pairs an American single malt with the bright aroma of pear and absinthe.

Ingredients

2 oz. American single-malt whiskey
1/2 oz. pear liqueur
1/4 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
2 dashes orange bitters
Absinthe (to rinse)

Glass:Old Fashioned
Garnish:lemon twist

Preparation

Rinse a glass with absinthe, discard the excess, then set aside. Stir the remaining ingredients with ice in a mixing glass until chilled. Strain the drink into the prepared glass. Twist a lemon peel over the drink to express the citrus oils, then use as garnish.
