It’s #FinallyRyeday! If the Manhattan is Dr. Jekyll, the Brain Duster is Mr. Hyde. This brazen libation combines rye with a wicked portion of absinthe, dark and sultry vermouth, and bitters for a cocktail that quenches your inner rogue.
1 oz WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey
1 oz good absinthe
1 oz sweet vermouth (Italian)
2 dashes bitters (aromatic or Creole)
Stir together all ingredients with ice until diluted to roundness. Strain into a quality cocktail glass. Sip responsibly. Cheers!
