Description: A sophisticated evolution of the classic Old Fashioned, the Absinthe Fashioned infuses the drink’s traditional robustness with a whisper of absinthe's mystical allure. The cocktail's complexity is enhanced by a blend of aromatic bitters and a touch of honey, resulting in a drink that is both familiar and intriguingly new. Ingredients: - 2 oz rye whiskey - 1/4 oz absinthe - 1/2 tsp honey - 2 dashes Angostura bitters - Lemon twist, for garnish - Orange twist, for garnish Instructions: 1. Chill an old fashioned glass by filling it with ice water. 2. In a mixing glass, combine the rye whiskey, absinthe, honey, and bitters.
