The Steakhouse Sazerac

Inspired by the legendary mixologist Frankie Solarik, this cocktail is the perfect complement to a juicy steak. Ingredients: - 2 oz rye whiskey - 1 sugar cube - 2 dashes of Peychaud's bitters - Absinthe or Herbsaint - Lemon peel Directions: 1. In an Old Fashioned glass, muddle the sugar cube with a few drops of water. 2. Add the rye whiskey and bitters and stir until the sugar is dissolved. 3. Rinse a separate chilled glass with absinthe or Herbsaint, discarding any excess. 4. Strain the cocktail into the rinsed glass. 5. Garnish with a lemon peel, twisting it over the drink to release its oils. The bold flavors of the rye whiskey and absinthe complement the rich, savory flavor of the steak, making for a truly unforgettable dining experience.
