Sazerac Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Chill the Glass
Begin by chilling an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice water. Let it sit while you prepare the cocktail.
Prepare the Mixing Glass
In a mixing glass, add the rye whiskey, simple syrup, and Peychaud's bitters.
Add Ice
Add 3 ice cubes to the mixing glass with the ingredients.
Stir the Mixture
Stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled.
Prepare the Glass
Discard the ice water from the old-fashioned glass and rinse it with absinthe. Swirl the absinthe around the glass and then discard the excess.
Strain the Cocktail
Strain the chilled cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared old-fashioned glass.
Garnish
Twist a lemon peel over the cocktail to release its oils, then drop it into the drink as a garnish.

Your Sazerac is now ready to be enjoyed! Sip and savor the complex flavors.
