In a mixing glass full of ice, combine simple syrup, rye, and bitters.
Spritz an Old Fashioned glass with the absinthe.
Strain the drink into the glass.
Serve with a twist of lemon.
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is
in it - and stay there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot
stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that
is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.
-- Mark Twain
