my favorite sazerac spec
the best Sazerac recipe
There’s something about a Sazerac that just warms my soul on a cloudy, rainy day like today.
Historically, this cocktail is made with either Cognac or Rye whiskey. While individually these spirits make delicious versions of a Sazerac, I believe using both has easily become my favorite.
Ingredients
0.33oz | 10ml simple syrup
2 dashes Angostura
6 dashes Peychaud’s
0.5oz | 15ml Rye whiskey
1.5oz | 45ml Cognac
Cocktail Directions
Combine all ingredients into a stirring vessel, add ice, and stir until thoroughly chilled and diluted. Strain into a chilled rocks glass that has been dressed with Absinthe. Express a lemon peel over top, discard the peel.
