Sazerac
Ingredients:
- Rinse Absinthe
- 1 Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Ice Water
- 3 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
- 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
- 1 1/4 oz Rye Whiskey
- 1 1/4 oz Cognac
Directions:
Sazerac is the official cocktail of New Orleans, and a perfect choice for celebrating Mardi Gras!
Rinse a rocks glass with absinthe, pouring out excess liquid, and set aside. In a mixing shaker, muddle the sugar cube, water and both bitters. Add the cognac and rye and fill with ice, and stir until well-chilled. Strain into the absinthe-rinsed glass. Twist a slice of lemon peel over the surface and then discard.
