Sacre Bleu

Rinse an Old Fashioned glass with absinthe, ensuring the interior is coated, then discard any excess.

In a mixing glass, combine the cognac, sweet vermouth, and triple sec.

Add 2 dashes of Peychaud's Bitters.

Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.

Strain the chilled mixture into the prepared Old Fashioned glass.
