250. Ojen Cocktail (American Style)

My Interpretation:
  0.5 oz Hiram Walker Anisette
  0.5 oz Copper & Kings White Absinthe
  6 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
  
Fill mixing-glass with cracked ice; stir with a dash (about 1/2 oz) of carbonated water, strain, serve. — This is the recipe found in the third Jack’s Manual (1912) and continues, after Straub’s Spanish recipe, with the epithet “American style.” The preparation is less finnicky than the Spanish, and the flavor of the absinthe is much improved by the addition of Peychaud’s.
