Sazerac Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Chill the Glass

   Begin by chilling an old-fashioned glass. Fill it with ice water and set it aside.

2. 2

   Muddle the Sugar

   In a separate mixing glass, place the sugar cube and add a couple dashes of Peychaud’s bitters. Muddle them together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.

3. 3

   Add Rye Whiskey

   Pour 2 oz of rye whiskey into the mixing glass with the muddled sugar and bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice.

4. 4

   Stir the Mixture

   Stir the mixture for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled and properly diluted.

5. 5

   Prepare the Glass

   Discard the ice water from the chilled old-fashioned glass. Add 1 tsp of Pernod to the glass and swirl it around to coat the inside.

6. 6

   Strain and Serve

   Strain the chilled mixture into the prepared glass. Optionally, you can garnish it with a lemon twist by expressing the oils over the drink and placing it in the glass.
