Sazerac Rye Whiskey Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Begin by chilling a rocks glass. Rinse it with absinthe, coating the inside, then discard the excess absinthe. This will prepare the glass for the cocktail.

2. 2

   Create the Sugar Mixture

   In a separate mixing glass, place the sugar cube and add the Peychaud's bitters on top. Muddle them together until the sugar is dissolved.

3. 3

   Add the Whiskey

   Pour the Sazerac Rye Whiskey into the mixing glass with the muddled sugar and bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir well until the mixture is chilled.

4. 4

   Strain and Serve

   Strain the mixture into the prepared rocks glass. Be careful not to include any ice.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Finally, twist the lemon peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
