Pumpkin Sazerac

Select and pre-chill an Old Fashioned glass.

Prepare a garnish by twisting a piece of lemon zest.

Rinse the chilled glass with La Fée Parisienne absinthe by swirling it around to coat the inside, then discard any excess. Set the glass aside.

Stir the cognac, pumpkin spice syrup, and Peychaud's or other Creole-style bitters with ice until well chilled.

Strain the mixture into the absinthe-rinsed Old Fashioned glass.

Express the lemon zest over the cocktail to release its oils and garnish the drink with the zest twist.
