Catoctin Creek Coffee Sazerac

Ingredients:

3 dashes Angostura bitters

60ml Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye

15ml coffee liqueur (Kahlua)

8ml absinthe, or anise liqueur

Lemon twist, for garnish

Method:

Chill an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while preparing the rest of the drink.

In a separate mixing glass, muddle the coffee liqueur and Angostura bitters. Add the Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye whisky and ice to the bitters mixture and stir to chill the mixture.

Discard the ice in the chilled glass and rinse it with the absinthe or anise liqueur by pouring a small amount into the glass, swirling it to coat all the edges of the glass, and discarding the rest of the liquid.

Strain the whisky mixture from the mixing glass into the old fashioned glass.

Twist the lemon peel over the glass so that the lemon oil cascades into the drink, then rub the peel over the rim of the glass.  Do not put the twist in the drink as this is a major faux pas.
