Black Christmas

2 oz. Elijah Craig Small Batch
1/2 oz. Averna
2-3 dashes Dale DeGroff’s Pimento Aromatic Bitters
Lucid Absinthe Wash
 
Stir first 3 ingredients with ice and strain into an Absinthe washed coup glass.
 
The Black Christmas is a drink 2 steps from a Manhattan named after the classic holiday slasher film of the same name that has 2 highly unnecessary remakes. Luckily, this remake is quite tasty and fills me with bloody holiday joy.
