The Rattlesnake is a classic cocktail that combines the robust flavors of rye whiskey with the freshness of lemon juice and the subtle sweetness of rich simple syrup. A touch of absinthe adds complexity, while egg white gives it a silky texture and a frothy top, perfect for creating artistic garnishes with bitters.
