Besides looking like a titanium-plated Trabant, the Phantom qualifies on two key tenets:
Senseless Lack of Utility: The Phantom weighs in at 230 grams. That's a 1/2 pound. May require a separate carrying case.
Exclusivity/Obscurity: Only 10 Phantoms will be made.
POURCAST
BETA
Sazerac
3 shots rye whiskey (or to taste)
1 sugar cube
Peychaud's Bitters
quarter shot of Absinthe
lemon twist
Soak the sugar cube with the bitters and place in the bottom of a highball glass. Mash with the back of a spoon (or muddler, which we hope has not been used to make a Mojito), add the rye whiskey and fill the glass with ice. Stir for about 30 seconds and then strain into another lowball glass that has been rinsed with Absinthe and filled about halfway with ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.
