The Sazerac
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon absinthe, Pernod, or Herbsaint liqueur
- Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon sugar or 1 teaspoon simple syrup
- 1 1/2 ounces rye whiskey
- 3 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters
- 1 lemon peel twist
Method:
To a chilled old fashioned glass, add the absinthe and swirl it around so that it coats the entire inside of the glass and discard the rest. In a shaker add the whiskey, bitters, sugar and five ice cubes. Shake it up for about 30 seconds. After shaking pour into the prepared old fashioned glass. Twist the lemon peel on the top of the drink and then add it to the drink.
