Growing Old Cocktail

Combine the Cynar, rye, and a pinch of salt in a mixing glass. Stir briefly to ensure the salt dissolves completely.

Express the oil from the lemon zest over the mixture, then drop the zest into the mixing glass.

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

Rinse a martini glass with pastis, ensuring it coats the interior.

Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass.

Garnish with a fresh lemon peel to finish.
