Ingredients

2 oz. Scotch (The Famous Grouse preferred)

¾ oz. sweet vermouth

¼ oz. green Chartreuse

3 dashes Peychaud's bitters

¼ oz. absinthe

One 1-inch round grapefruit peel, for garnish

Method

Pour absinthe into a chilled rocks glass and swirl around the glass's interior to rinse it; set aside.

Combine all remaining ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir until very well chilled, then strain into the prepared rocks glass without ice. Spritz a 1-inch round of grapefruit peel, skin side down, over the surface of the drink and discard.
