Sazerac Ingredients:


1.7 oz Rye whiskey (or cognac)
1 teaspoon cane sugar syrup
2 dashes Peychaud's bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash absinthe (or pastis)
1 lemon twist

Realization of the Sazerac:


  • Pour a teaspoon of absinthe or pastis into a chilled cocktail glass and swirl it around to coat the inside. Discard the excess.
  • In a mixing glass, stir the whiskey, cane sugar syrup, and both bitters.
  • Add ice to the mixing glass and stir for about 20 seconds to chill and slightly dilute the mixture.
  • Strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail glass with absinthe or pastis.
  • Garnish with a lemon twist, pinching it lightly to release its essential oil.
  • Serve and enjoy!
  • Note: Sazerac is a classic New Orleans drink, often preferred with Rye whiskey, but it can also be made with cognac.
