Sazerac

Stirred · Gibraltar glass · Lemon peel to garnish

Ingredients

• 45ml1.5ozRye Whiskey
• 22.5ml0.75ozCognac
• 7.5ml0.25ozSimple Syrupsemi-rich, 1.5:1
• 3 dashesPeychaud's Bitters
• 1 dash1 dashAngostura
• a dashAbsintheoptional but great

Method

1. 1

   This is a slow and strong sipper. We like it served ‘up’ so no ice in the drinking glass. Get your glassware chilling in the freezer long before you make this.

2. 2

   There’s no citrus in this so we’re stirring, not shaking

3. 3

   Add all your ingredients, minus the absinthe into a mixing glass

4. 4

   Add ice and stir for 30 seconds to chill

5. 5

   Add a small splash of absinthe to your drinking glass and swirl it around to coat the sides. Once coated, pour out the excess - it can easily overpower this drink. If you have a little spritzer bottle, 2-3 sprays will do it.

6. 6

   Pour the cocktail into your drinking glass.

7. 7

   For garnish, lemon peel is great, spritz it over the top and rub the edge of the glass. Drop it in the glass if you like, or discard it
