Instructions

Description: The Sazerac is a classic cocktail with a rich history, originating in New Orleans. This sophisticated and aromatic drink combines the flavors of rye whiskey, absinthe, sugar, and bitters, resulting in a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Ingredients: - 2 oz rye whiskey - 1 sugar cube - 2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters - Absinthe (to rinse the glass) - Lemon peel (for garnish) Instructions: 1. Start by chilling an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice and setting it aside. 2. In a separate mixing glass, muddle the sugar cube with a few drops of water until it's completely dissolved. 3. Add the rye whiskey and the Peychaud's Bitters to the mixing glass filled with ice. 4. Stir gently for about 30 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the mixture. 5. Discard the ice from the chilled old-fashioned glass and rinse it with a small amount of absinthe, ensuring the glass is coated with the absinthe before discarding any excess. 6. Strain the whiskey, sugar, and bitters mixture into the rinsed glass. 7. Garnish with a twist of lemon peel by expressing the oils over the drink and dropping it into the glass. 8. Serve the Sazerac straight up and enjoy its complex flavors sip by sip.
