Sazerac Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Rinse a chilled Old Fashioned glass with absinthe. To do this, pour the absinthe into the glass, swirl it around until the interior is coated, and then discard the excess.

  2. 2

    Mix the Drink

    In a mixing glass, add the rye whiskey, simple syrup, and Peychaud's bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes.

  3. 3

    Stir the Ingredients

    Stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled and diluted.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the contents of the mixing glass into the prepared Old Fashioned glass. Do not add ice to the glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Twist a piece of lemon peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
