Sazerac Rye Recipe

Prepare the Glass

Rinse a chilled Old Fashioned glass with absinthe, swirling it around to coat the inside, then discard any excess.

Muddle Sugar

In a separate mixing glass, muddle the sugar cube with Peychaud's bitters until the sugar is dissolved.

Add Rye Whiskey

Pour the rye whiskey into the mixing glass with the muddled sugar and bitters.

Stir

Add ice to the mixing glass and stir well until the mixture is chilled.

Strain and Garnish

Strain the mixture into the prepared Old Fashioned glass. Garnish with a lemon peel by expressing the oils over the drink and dropping it in.
