Description
If you ask me to name a cocktail that embodies everything I love about cocktails, it’d be the Sazerac. Created circa 1850, the Sazerac is a spirit forward cocktail that combines the boldness of rye whiskey with the mystique of absinthe. With just a touch of sugar it’s not a cocktail to be taken lightly but surprisingly goes down easy.
Ingredients
- ¼ ounces, fluid Absinthe
- ¾ teaspoons Sugar
- 3 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters

- 1 Lemon Peel
