The Sazerac
Rye, a little sweetness, an anise rinse and the aromatic red dash that ties them together.
Makes one drink
What goes in
- 2 oz rye whiskey
- ¼ oz simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water)
- 3 dashes Aromatic bitters
- A small splash of absinthe, to rinse the glass
- Lemon peel
How to mix it
- Chill a small rocks glass. Rinse the inside with a little absinthe, turn the glass to coat it, then discard the excess.
- Add the rye, syrup and bitters to a mixing glass. Fill with ice and stir until thoroughly chilled.
- Strain into the prepared glass without ice. Express a lemon peel over the surface for its oils.
The rinse should leave an aroma, not a pool. A chilled glass matters because this version is served without ice.
