Bananarac

Rinse a frozen Double Old Fashioned glass with absinthe, ensuring it's coated evenly, then discard any excess.

In a mixing glass, combine the cognac, rye, crème de banane, rich demerara syrup, and aromatic bitters.

Add ice to the mixing glass and stir until well-chilled.

Strain the mixture into the prepared glass without ice.

Express the lemon peel over the cocktail to release its oils, then discard the peel.
